This is a remnant from the holiday that celebrated everything made of metal- all bikes, motorbikes, and cars had garlands and palm decorations this past weekend: 
We ended up going to to Kedungu where there was a beautiful long left: .JPG)
My instructor Wayan and friend Mirja powered up with some peanuts before hopping in.
The waves were gentle, but really big. About 3/4 of the way through a session I got washed by a big set, and while under the water I noticed that my right leg suddenly didn't have the usual tugging feeling that happens when you lose your board. When I surfaced I saw my board hurtling 100m away towards the beach- I had a 15 minute swim/paddle in. Luckily my instructor had a backup leash so I was able to catch one more long wave before calling it a day.When I got out of the water (the second time) there was a lot more activity on and around the beach- here people are bringing things to a memorial service at one end of the strip.
And here they are praying on the beach for the memorial service: 
In the middle of the beach these women were doing each others' hair: 
And at the other end of the beach the men were gambling:

I love that the men and women are doing such totally sterotypical things. I mean, what is more girlie than doing each other's hair? And what is more manly than competing with your friends to make a buck?
