Beautiful Bali!
Mike and Jan Millspaugh describe their visit to Bali earlier this year in a program illustrated with their photographs.
The meeting starts at 7:30 PM October 7th at the San Bernardino County Museum, 2024 Orange Tree Lane, Redlands.
The tropical island of Bali, just east of Java, is part of the nation of Indonesia. Called the “Island of the Gods,” Bali’s four million inhabitants are 85% Hindu in contrast to the rest of Indonesia, which is predominately Muslim.
Balinese culture is unique and deeply spiritual. With its many cultural, historical and archaeological attractions, Bali is one of the world’s top island destinations.
Mike and Jan spent some time at the quiet, fashionable and beautiful seaside resort of Seminyak. In the Balinese cultural heart of Ubud, they appreciated this center for art, dance, and music. They visited Ubud’s famed Monkey Forest and saw several museums in town.
The couple were also able to tour the island, seeing the ancient rice terraces, many temples, lakes, and the Agung and Batur volcanos. Mike and Jan live in Riverside.
Mike is a retired special education teacher at Moreno Valley High School. Jan, also retired, was a clinical therapist with the San Bernardino County Department of Mental Health. They enjoy travel and in recent years have traveled to over 25 cities on five continents.
