Bali - Kuta

Our second full day in Bali began with a walk on the beach. With the temperature exceeding 90 degrees soon after the sun rises, it is recommended to get in some walking in the early morning hours. We were not the only ones enjoying the cool morning air. We saw families sitting together, kids playing soccer, and runners and walkers taking advantage of the smooth surface where the beach meets the sand. We also saw many of the daily offerings of flowers known as canang. Canang are seen at shop and home entrances, along streets, at temples, and even in the ocean. The flowers are placed in a small square basket made of the leaf form the coconut tree.
