Yes, one more slideshow

I know there are a lot of pictures. And I am sorry if this takes up all of your allotted "blog" time, but feel free to skip the slide show or all of it together! From Jakarta we left to bali. This was neat and we got to see hindu temples, dances, beaches etc. it was a neat place to visit. When we got home we went on a train ride up to bandung (where my parents live) and it was a neat train ride. We saw some beautiful rice fields and farm land. We loved spending time in Bandung, it was a nice place. Thanks for the great trip mom and dad you were great tour guides!

Yes, my bags are unpacked

And they have been for a while. Well, when you have soooo many pictures and you have to choose from all of them the best, and then you really don't even choose the best, it gets really stressful! Ok, so not really that dramatic, but I did start a long time ago and just never got back to it. So I just went ahead and posted the slideshow that I had! I am going to make another one of Bali and Bandung. This trip was an awesome experience. Erik and I both had a great time and loved being there. It was great to see my mom and dad and they are doing great. (besides my dad's spat of the runs while we were there, they seemed pretty good :) We even got to see the hospitol my dad likes to spend a lot of his time in. It was pretty nice, so I guess I don't blame him. After our 20 hours of flying we were happy to arrive and see this new country. We got to meet and spend a lot of time with my parent's driver named Roshen. He is a really nice guy and he drove us all around. We went to a park like polynesian culture center where they had little representations of the islands of indonesia. We also went into a mosque in jakarta that was huge. Inside and out they can hold 200,000 people! They made us wear the robes because too much of our skin was showing. We went on a safari where you just drive your car around and feed and look at the animals. Anyway, this was an eye opening experience and we were both sad to leave, except for that little blonde kid we left behind... we kinda like him.
