Photo Time

Let’s have some photos, shall we?  We are in Bali right now and have fast internet; we have to take advantage of that!

This is Sally and me at the top of Mt. Kelimutu on Flores Island, Indonesia.  Those are these crater lakes that change colors from time to time.

Here is Sally trying to take a monkey home on the way up Kelimutu. It didn’t work.

We went to Church in the village of Moni.  That was super cool.  Most of the island is Catholic so they were cool with us.

Sally and our guide are eating passionfruit that this lady gave us.  We took a guide around on motorcycles to check out some local flavor.  Well worth it.

I had to ride my own motorcycle.  Mercifully, Sally rode on the back of our guide’s.  Turns out riding a motorcycle is pretty similar to a bike.

We visited a really traditional village and walked in on lunch.  I love doing that.  They felt obliged to feed us.  Check out the bowls they eat out of—made of palm leaves.

Here is the village.  Tall houses help to drain away the rain from the thatch.  Plus they are cooler in the heat.  They also look fancy.

After the village we hit a river where a hot spring and a cool river meet to create the perfect temperature.  There were lots of local kids there who thoroughly harassed us while we there.

Komodo Island is just off of Flores Island and we went to check these guys out.  Komodo dragons really are big.  They can eat deer and small people.

Diving was next which was amazing!  The ride out wasn’t bad either.
