Transporting Food to the Fields

These young woman are taking food to the family working in the fields. You can see that they learn to balance baskets on their heads at a young age.

It seemed like goods of all kinds were transported either by baskets on the heads of men and women, or by some kind of boxes or baskets on a motorcycle. And, yes, we did see some delivery trucks too, but people everywhere were carrying things on their heads.

More rice is drying on the tarp in the background.

Rice Paddies

Rice is the staple crop for the residents of Bali. We saw rice paddies all along the roads into the mountains. Here you can see the flooded fields. That water comes from the lakes high up in the mountains, and is diverted for the crops as it flows down the mountains in their irrigation ditches.
