A couple who live down the road from us had a beautiful TV cabinet made and they told us where - so Nick & I went over there and saw the most beautiful work - all done by hand! Oh my goodness such detail and beautiful wood that has the grains in it - Oh I would LOVE to have a table made with that wood! Our other friends are doing just that...a big slab of a tree cut with all the weaves of the grain on the table top...oh absolutely lovely! Anyway - we came to admire the work! The owner, Pak Pramono gave us a tour his shop! (man on the left in red) Pak Pramono was also celebrating his 71 Birthday! So we wished him a Happy Birthday!
There was a group of people also gathered in another area - and it seems that they were climbers/hikers and had just climbed Mt Marapi that morning! They were a friendly bunch and wanted a picture with us...just look at those friendly faces!
Oh Oh to control oneself and not order a table to be made to ship back to the States! Yes...CONTROL!!!!
Shall we do it Nick...get a small container and ship some things home????? Well??????
OK Uncle Paul - you probably know what this fruit it right?
You told me the name of the previous fruit - the red one in our front yard - Jumbu...how about this one? To me it looks like a avocado???? I took it especially for you to figure out...hint hint?
Does any other Indo out there seeing this know???
Look at this wall - the moss grows on it because of the dampness in the air...and then look what is growing from it? Ferns! Just coming out of the rock....I don't think it was planted there - or maybe it is....
When I see interesting things - oh well the camera comes out of the purse!
Notice the word Dutch people out there? Parking "Parkir" in Dutch parkeer - they changed it a bit here - but I am sure it is left over from the Dutch colonial days

- So on Sunday we had this really nice lunch after church - and Nick & I enjoyed the surrounding & atomsphere of this darling place called Kafeole' - so we said this afternoon....shall we go get some lunch? Well we only need to say that ONE TIME to one another! Ha!
We start with a freshly juiced Papaya drink!
Just look how BIG this leaf is????
So' large!
Oh see how beautiful and "fine" this fern tree is? Oh you guys - isn't just gorgeous? You see all different kinds of trees, bushes and ferns in this pretty restaurant!
(Oh Oh ...makes me think of Jonah!)
This little hut happens not to have the pillows around the table - but people here are comfortable sitting on the floor, not Ellen - but when you walk through the pathways you see people sitting comfortable in the cute huts enjoying a meal and one another!
Nick & I sat at the table - under the canopy!
