My dear friend Michelle called me all the way from watery Atlanta, Georgia to tell me that she wants me to write about our new home, and show her pictures of it and all of the culture that we're experiencing in our new hometown. I'm not ready to show you photos of our unpacked but not neatly organized and labeled home yet, because I don't want you to think that we live like Sanford and Son, so for now, here are some more Indonesia photos to keep you distracted . . .
Sometimes we pause in between meals and smile.
Gawkers at Ibu Oka Restaurant in Ubud, famous for its suckling pig
A souped-up minibus rolls by in Padang, West Sumatra; minibuses are the main form of public transportation, and companies dress up their vans to make them more appealing
Watching a ketcak, or Balinese fire dance, accompanied by a chorus of 100 male, bare-chested chanters
The rice fields of Ubud
Okay, I'm done with Indonesia, I promise. That is, until our next trip . . .
