Shopping at the department store - and this little girl was all smiles looking at those "tall people"
She was with her mommy and quite comfortable! Cut huh?!
It began to rain so' hard...Nick & I had to take cover...and then even HARDER ...everyone ran cover and just waited.
Well it rained for about 10-15 minutes and we all stood undercover - and then it lighten up and we walked over to the scooter...dried it off and got those poncho's out an zipped home! You betcha!
Jessica had brought me a special gift - a handmade table runner that was made from the island she was from Kalimantan - see the turtles in the pattern? She shared with me that the people enjoyed doing crafts with animals in it! It looks so nice on the coffee table that we have borrowed from our friends!
Our neighbors had come over for dinner and showed me how to make "sabal" and with his hands he was trying to explain this crushing movement - well Nick called out "oelekan" which came from nowhere! He was so surprised himself he remembered that from his mothers days! How funny - he keeps having words come back to his memory! Well - we went out and bought one! Then Pak Jono said - let the grinder be wood "kaym" not rock on rock - he said because it will grind the rock - so we did - we replaced it. So now I will have to get going and make some sabal! (chili paste- Indonesia style!)
There's Beppie our friend - she is really comfortable on that motorcycle...she zips around on it - no problem (tidak masalah)! I hope to learn and get as comfortable with it too!
Tomorrow is Sinterklaas - and we will also be celebrating it here in Salatiga! Beppie is having the Dutchies over for the evening! We printed some songs - and there are even some goodies that have also come from Holland! Supposedly 10 of us speaking Dutch! Oh Oh! When the Dutch get together.....well ........
."altijd Gezellig!"
Now Doesn't she look like a Dutch girl on that motorbike?
Sampai Nanti!
(see you later!)
or actually ....
Salamat Tidur! Good Night!
