Alive and Well in Indonesia

Okay, so it seems like Indonesia has swallowed us whole, but as we spend our last day in this vast archipelago we have decided to finally take a minute to post to our blog. It has been a whirlwind of long travel days, scenic panoramas, talkative and friendly Indonesians (photo mister?), lying and money grubbing Indonesians, rice paddy walks, beach strolls and soaking up the blazing sun and striking culture. Overland from North Sumatra to Lombok we've had 39 hour bus rides, epic haggling matches with bemo drivers, slept in bus stations, invited goats into our bungalow, waited out thunderstorms with cold Bintang, gotten sick, shopped, driven motorbikes through the countryside and ankle deep flooded streets, seen some good performances and eaten pounds and pounds (or are they kilos?) of nasi. We'll spare you the details over the last few months and instead post some photos since those are more exciting anyway. :)
