Selamat Pagi! (Good Morning!)

Greetings from the beautiful mountainside here in Indonesia! All of our days have been jam packed with everything Indonesian, with tons of food and tons of fun! The other day we were given the opportunity to visit Prambanan. The moment we arrived it was as if we were stepping into a page of an Encyclopedia! Prambanan is a 9^th century Hindu temple located in Central Java. Just standing there surrounded by these majestic temples we were all in awe at the fact that it was all constructed based on a tongue-and-groove approach. The mere height and intricate carvings were also impressive. We had a very funny tour guide who was always cracking “American” jokes! He was so nice and always encouraging us to keep up, as you may guess we were very distracted by our surroundings! The tour included a full history of Prambanan as well as going into several of the different chambers. Randomly as we were walking around we also discovered that there were some kittens living there! I certainly want to get in touch with their real estate agent! Finally, our tour concluded with many group shots in front of the temple, complete with an aerial shot! In other words, the infamous jumping pose! Needless to say it was an experience that none of us will ever forget!
