Boy Scout Campout at Thousand Islands

We joined the Boy Scouts on a campout at Pulau Pelangi in the Thousand Islands.  We left in a speedboat from north Jakarta and arrived after 90 minutes or so. 

The water was gorgeous.

The troop here is rather casual and there were few planned activities.  Anyway, we had a good time and enjoyed a beautiful island paradise for the weekend.

Family Day

The SLB spouses association hosted a family day last weekend at Arthayasa Stables.  It was nice to get out of Jakarta. The kids enjoyed riding and looking at the horses/ponies although  I thought they were very sad-looking animals.  They were so skinny and some had sores.  I don't think they are being taken care of properly...poor things.  We had a nice lunch and then the kids were able to participate in a science show.  I think overall we all had a good time.

Trip to Yogyakarta

Last month, we took a trip to Yogyakarta over a long weekend. We went to Borobudur, Prabanan, and on a Jeep ride around Merapi volcano.

Air purifier update

The Honeywell air purifier is still running strong and I even had to change the HEPA filter today.
