So Long Indonesia!

I spent my last day in Indonesia, but it was a good day. My new student, Agustina met me at the hotel at 10 AM and together we went to a shopping mall that had many Indonesian handcrafts and batik items. There was a great deal to choose from so I kept walking around and around trying to figure out what would be a good gift. I spent some money in that mall but it will be nice to have souvenirs of this trip.

We then went to a cultural part of town where there is a museum and a water park. Yes, they mix museums and water parks. Although the water park looked a bit inviting in the 100 degree day, I had to settle for the museum. The museum had many of the traditional costumes of the various parts of the country. It was very colorful and interesting. We also toured a traditional Balinese home. By that time we were both very uncomfortable in the sweltering heat and decided to go back.
We had a very late lunch and then Agustina went home. I walked around a bit in the mall that was connected t the hotel and then off to the airport.

I have often said that any plane ride that you walk off from was a good one. Indeed, my flights were excruciatingly long, but uneventful. I arrived home on Sunday, Feb. 28 at about 2 PM. What a trip!
