Bali: Woodcarving around Ubud





Agung, our tour guide extraordinaire, took us to a little town outside of Ubud, the arts and crafts capital of Bali. In this woodcarving town, he found a hidden courtyard with woodcarvers wielding animal carvings. Agung took us to this place since he knew the woodcarvers would be willing to teach the kids how to carve.

Griffin made his first woodcarving, with a mallet and chisel, producing a Buddha...with a little help from the carver. Grif now meditates with his Buddha in front of him. Boom and Alice were relegated to the lower status sanding duties, but seemed to relish sanding their ducks anyway.

How could we not buy something after they gave all that attention to our kids?
