Selamat Datang di Indonesia MacKenzies!

My family has safely arrived in Indonesia on Sunday night. So far it's been a tiring and fun whirlwind of travel and activity. On Monday, they came to class and watched me teach. They fielded questions from my students [including: "What is the culture of Canada?", "What do you know about the Bermuda Triangle?", and "Can you explain the Boston Tea Party?"]. They handed out little oleh-oleh from America to everyone they met.I took them for lunch at my favorite waroeng. Here we all are with the owner of the waroeng who was thrilled to have us visit. No one cooks bakmi godog like she does!
Neil tries his first bite of bakmi goreng [fried noodles]. His verdict: delicious and spicy.
More photos and stories of their visit coming soon. I've left them in Yogyakarta for the night because I must teach tomorrow. This weekend we're off to Bali! Wish you were here too!

  1. Uh, I WILL be there. This weekend. In Bali.

    I'm sure we'll find our way to Ubud at some point.

  2. I am so-so happy that you are all together again! I almost cannot believe that they are there in Indonesia! You all look so beautiful!
    Oh, I wish I was there, too. I would love bakmi goreng. Oh, yes, Sarah, please post more when you have a chance.
    Enjoy each and every second of your family time. Tell your Mom that she 'needs' to tell me about the culture of Canada and the Bermuda Triangle, too!!
    Love the pictures and love the update,
    Mary Ann
