Oct 1, 2012   Market


This morning after our Coconut breakfast we went to a Balinese Market in Gianyar which is about 30 minuets east of Ubud.

This is the outer edge of the market and was filled with everything imaginable.

Gianyar is a much larger town than Ubud.

 This is where to local people shop and get good bargains.

We were drawn into the inner part of the market in search for new sarongs for our special ceremony.  At first we felt overwhelmed by everything and the space was narrow and very compacted.  We came outside a few times and then finally adjusted to the tight quarters.  We playfully bartered for our wares and everyone giggled.

Back outside again and feeling the breeze.

Ofcourse, there were flowers everywhere.  You could choose individual flowers to make your own offering or buy them already made.

We had a fun time at the market then went back to Ubud for lunch.  One of our favorite restraunts is Cafe Wayan and we had not been there yet so we stopped in and found the food still as great as ever and the garden still held the beauty and magic of Bali.

Tomorrow we will be doing prayers and ceremony for World Peace and hope you will include this in your prayers too or create your own ceremony.
