Bali Trip








For my Knight School I had the opportunity of traveling across the world to Bali, Indonesia. I spent a week and a half learning about the food, religion, and arts that made Bali so unique. Being able to eat some of the traditional Balinese dishes was definitely one of the highlight of my days in Bali. A traditional Balinese dishes that I enjoyed a lot was a dish called sate which is pieces of chicken put on skewers and dipped in a sauce. The dish that we enjoyed that day was had a peanut sauce and it definitly added so much flavor to the already succulent chicken. To get a feel of the Hindu practices in Bali we were able to visit many temples and practice the traditional blessings as well. One important rule we had to follow before entering any temple was that we had to wear a sarong which was the proper dress for entering a temple. In one of the images of the cliffs and beachside we were visiting a temple that does a special blessing when the tide goes down and we got the opportunity to trek across to be blessed. Though this blessing was special I really enjoyed our final blessing in which we had a priest and his wife do a private fair-well blessing for us as well.
