Lunch in the Rice Paddies





From the temple we then drove to the rice paddies where we ate lunch high upon a hill overlooking geometric fields of rice. The restaurant had a resident bat living on a perch near the front entrance. This bat was the largest bat we had ever encountered close up (not to say that we have closely encountered that many bats). The bat captivated tourists by stretching his huge waxy wings open revealing his oddly orange furry body. He even reached out and grabbed the camera of German tourist much to her surprise!
