I am in the United States, where the internet is decidedly more reliable than in just about any place I visited in Indonesia. I can now share some beloved photos with you from my trip. Due to technical difficulties figuring out the Weebly utility, these are not in exact chronological order. Here are a few photos of home Hindu shrines in Denpasar, Bali. I mentioned in my blog entry "Breakfast in Denpasar; Lunch in Jakarta" that we stayed in an airport hotel that bore a striking resemblance to a maximum-security prison. Here is a photo: A view from my hotel window of Jakarta: Batavia Town Hall, built by the Dutch in the 17th century and now a museum on a grand plaza. Performers in Disney costumes pose with tourists for tips in the tropical heat. A canon, captured from the Portuguese by the Dutch in the seventeenth century. Shopping in a massive indoor shopping complex. A few scenes from Manado, including a Christian cemetery and rooster on a leash. I think I will round out my blog here, with thanks to the many people who have taken time to read through it. I do hope to have an opportunity to return to Indonesia in the future, and if that happens, you'll definitely hear about it!
