Day 3 - Scary museum, glass factory, and general silliness :)

Wednesday consisted of much driving.
We drove first to the Bali Museum, which was a mix of interesting and disturbing.

Pak Deky at the Bali Museum

Pak Deky works in Admissions at school. He chaperoned our trip because he helped coordinate it with our travel guides.












Listening to an explanation in the lobby












Inside the bamboo rafters of the lobby












Hanging out with Audrey in front of the museum

We're sitting on this dragon-looking statue/cannon?/thing. :-P















The scary cannon statue attacked Fayed!















Help! I'm being attacked, too!















This creepy black creation is supposed to represent a Balinese man...











...who would marry a white Chinese woman.
The union of a black person and a white person represents harmony, like the Chinese yin and yang.
Whatever.















Scary animal masks!














GROSS!!!



















A baby's bed!


















This is the traditional gamelan instrument, which was in the museum lobby. The museum workers were playing it until we walked by; they stopped playing to stare at us. Soooo annoying!












Pretty door


















For lunch, we ate at a seafood restaurant. However, the shrimp had eyes, so I didn't eat it.












I have dessert.

The kids aren't bothering me.

The kids aren't talking to me. (At this moment.)

Miss Mandy's very happy here!














We drove to a glass factory and toured it.

























They use recycled glass from this pile.














We watched some men make a vase.


























































It's almost done!
























Women painting the glassware











































Beautiful!



















Some pretty glassware










A Hindi offering amidst the glassware











We went to a glass store.



















This was our dinner.


















Hungry kiddos













Being silly
























Silly girls














Going crazy!

Do you remember what this food was on this dish?

The seafood was just rice with fish and some kind of spicy, chili paste. (I didn't eat that!)
