Museum, rice paddies and the Temple at Batuan- Sep 20

If you're paying attention to the dates you will notice that we visited many sites today. Some were just quick stops like the terraced rice paddies.
Others were longer like the Don Antonio Blanco Museum. He was a Spanish painter who came to Bali to paint, married a famous Balinese dancer and raised his family here. Apparently he was famous and after Blanco arrived, other artists came to Bali to be inspired as painters.

We also visited the Temple at Batuan Village. It was built in 11th century, but underwent major changes or renovations in the 13th and 18th centuries.
