MORE SCENES FROM BALI
We rented a boat and headed off shore for several hours of dolphin watching.  After 45 minutes we found ourselves in the middle of hundreds and hundreds of dolphins.  We spent the next couple of hours running with the dolphins.  Most of the time they would swim along slowly and methodically.  But every so often one would explode through the surface of the water in an awesome aerial display.

At one point we saw one dolphin smacking its tail on the surface of the water.  The guide told us it was stunning fish for the other dolphins. Evidently, a group of dolphins will circle a school of fish and one dolphin will break into the middle and stun as many fish as it can.  Then, the dolphins can have a meal without having to chase it all over the ocean.
