A Saturday Morning Adventure!

One thing I've been making an effort to do since being in Indonesia is finding and writing down things that I love about here. That way when I get homesick, instead of focusing on what I miss about Boston, I can think about things that I love about Indonesia. I want to be able to love things about my new home, too. :) So far I have found some great things I love about Indonesia. There is so much to do in Malang, because it's a city, but sometimes I really miss being outside in the fresh air and open space. One thing I love is that 15 minutes outside the city are hills and farms. This morning I went on a joyride with my friend, Faith, out of Malang. We drove on a road toward one of the mountains and within 15 minutes were surrounded by farms and rice paddies.

Here are a couple views from along the way as we drove...it's too hazy to really see Malang, but it's down there!

As we kept driving, we even hit orange orchards!! The flowers blooming on the trees smelt amazing too!

Where we stopped before turning around...we could've kept going forever! A little pic of the mountains in the background.

Me at the top on my ride. "I get 70 miles to a gallon on this hog"...Dumb & Dumber anyone? :)
