Much Needed Break

We got away for two nights to a really nice hotel. It is silly to think that we payed less (under $50.00) than our $50.00 hole in the wall in Saute St. Marie's this last fall!!! THAT was a HOLE IN THE WALL!! This was awesome. (With the cost of gas and everything else going up, we won't be enjoying these 4 star hotels for rock bottom prices....) It was GREAT while it has lasted. (I didn't realize how much I really needed a break.... I would have loved to have stayed a 3rd night.... oh well.) :) I'm feeling much more myself after that bit of a break. IMLAC starts tomorrow for Shane and home-study for Karen.































































We headed to a good bike shop in town.... Tim needed their bikes serviced. Bernd, you'd love it I think!!! They had a lot of really great stuff!







































We also headed to the Antique Pasar (market) which was just around the corner from the bike shop. Just farther down the street was the Solo Kraton. (Palace)









































Some 'flora & fauna' from around the hotel grounds......










































































































































































































































































Paintballing! WHAT a blast!!! :)














Me being silly around the pool. :) The funny thing is I took this same picture 6 years ago when we were last here for the day. Too bad i don't have the picture on the laptop!! :) I didn't quite make the funny 'Oh! I'm being sucked up!!!' face, but hey, you get the idea. Hee hee hee hee














Pool games.....

Saya memboncengkan Ibu Ruth

'I gave Ruth a ride.'

:) Ruth was my first passanger on my little motorbike. :) Her and Sarah took a morning exercise walk, but got a bit farther than they expected and ended up at our house!!! (About 3-4 miles away)














* I DO have a picture of us on the motorbike, but I don't know where I put in on the laptop!! :)
