Horses of Gili

Tuck — Sat, 05 Jul 2014 03:48:10 +0000

We went to gili air iland which is part of lombok, indonesia and saw a lot horses. If you tack a horses and buggy around the hole iland it only tacks a half an hour and if you walk around the hole island it tacks 2 hour. I didn’t walk around the island…insted I got to ride the horses !!!!!!!!!. Around the iland. IT WAS RELIY FUN. There are no cars on moterbicks on the island so you can only tack horses if you don’t want to walk.

This is Jones with the horse that took us around the whole island.

This is me after the horse ride. I am watching the sunset and drinking mango juice

Lerning How To Mack Offerings

Tuck — Sat, 14 Jun 2014 07:09:18 +0000

In Bali I lernd how to mack offerings. To mack offerings you need cocnut leaves, flowers, a nif and scissors to cut the shaps, and a stapler and extra staples.

I only now how 3 tipe of offerings. I now how to mack the triangal sqare flower offerings. The flower tipe of offering is sapost to have 8 petose. It’s also like how you mack pepol. The triangal and the sqare offering is cindove the same. Becoase you haft to do the same thing epsept you haft to do the triangal closer to the ather Side of coconut lefe.

In case you don’t now the Bali pepol do offerings every morning and les in the after noon they do it beceas they belive in god. I learned how to mack offerings from this varey nice bolins family. The mom named Made tot me how to mack offerings with putu. I like macking offerings because they r simpl to do and it’s fun.

STEP 1: You need a mini stapler, staples, scissors, coconut tree leaves and flowers. Also incense and a cracker.

STEP 2: To do the square, you cut the leaf 1/2 way and then twist and staple…make sure you cut all the sides the same length

STEP 3: This is what it should look like when you are done with the square.

STEP 4: Fill in the bottom with more leaf and staple it in.

STEP 5: Then you can add a few more pieces for decoration if you want.

STEP 6: Then you add flowers.

These are all the shapes I learned to make.

We went to the heron village and saw a lot of herons. Wal we wer walking to see the herons we saw people with pet roosters and mom sed if they get in a fight one is ded. Then We went to the roof and took picketers of herons. One heron pooped a tine dot of poop on jones. The herons wer fliing to a difrint tree wen ever a new bird came. Evry body voted and desided that the roosters wer more intrisding thane the herons.

These are the guys we could see from the roof with their roosters getting them ready to fight.

We bought a ticket to the Heron Village but it was really just a seat on top of the roof of an unfinished building

Jones was brave and asked the guys if he could pet one of the roosters.
