Current Painting Endeavors - cont.
Twingings is done.... German coffee and one that is still undecided to go. :)
Going to Kindergarten
Interesting Title?? :) No, Shane and I haven't reverted back to going to kindergarten.. but I did go with one of our newest families to an Islamic kindergarten or 'TK' last week as a way for the kids to get to meet some 'western' people and kids their age. :) This contact came from one of my awesome neighbors, Ibu Ning!
When we got there we were ushered into a waiting room to rest for a minute and have a drink.
We then went upstairs and were greeted by about 125 kids and teachers - singing us a welcome song in English. :)
Thomas and Laura introduced themselves and their kids. We say 'Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes' since there is also an Indonesian version and Laura read them a story.
We put in an alphabet movie for them to watch for about 15 minutes...
..and then went out to the playground so the kids could all play together.

Then the kids washed up for their snack....

New Years' in January
January 8th had me helping sing for a central Java ladies Christmas Service. :) It was really fun!
Getting Away for a Break
We didn't get away over the Christmas holidays, but we did get away this past weekend! :)
We headed to Mt. Lawu to check it out for maybe a future bike/weekend away but didn't actually find what we were looking for. Nonetheless it was a nice ride and fun to be enjoying Indonesia's country side. :)
After Mt. Lawu we headed for a hotel and a city we don't get to often. We enjoyed traveling around following our map (looks VERY beat up now! :)) and checking out places.
Some old pots from China.....
We enjoyed the museum. It was quite big and it must have taken us 2 hours. I couldn't pass up a picture of the dust. Dusting is just not something you do much of here - at least not in a museum. Things are so open and get dusty too quickly. I think most Indonesians don't even bother really.
A market known for selling 'batik.' ... never been there.... not yet. :)
For lunch we enjoyed A&W. I ordered an interesting menu item... Chicken Mango Pocket... :)
Our lunch came to $7.00.
Supper we enjoyed 'Martabak.' I've talked about it before but don't remember if I have put pictures up. :)
We enjoyed a bit of the hotel and of course we needed to check e-mail. :)
