We arrived back on the island of Java this weekend and it feels like we are in a different country. The smells, the temperature, the topography, the twist on food dishes...it all seems so foreign...and so familiar. It was only 4 months ago that we left.
Becca and I went exploring today after we put the girls in school and found ourselves at a small lake. Lots of fishing and harvesting of marsh plants going on.
After some coaxing, I convinced Becca that we needed to pay a few dollars to use a local man's boat and paddle around the lake a little bit. We spend about 30 minutes looking like fools, but we had a great time.
Even the wife of my youth dawned a traditional hat to help keep the sun's rays off of her. Despite the nice sunshine, the overall temperature here is a LOT cooler than the middle of Borneo. It feels like Fall to us...it is great!
