Biker Babe

I am now a motor-bike-riding resident of this fine country. My friend, Selvie has been teaching me how to ride motor-bike over the last month. We're going out for our 5th and final lesson tonight, so I can practice night driving. I was so excited, yesterday because I drove from one of the malls to our english center which is a good 15 minute ride! This was a big accomplishment for me, because we had just been practicing on mainly backroads and less-crowded streets. The challenge of driving in Indonesia of course is the lack of lanes, order or structure. But it's been an adventure to learn and hopefully I will do well and not have a wreck or fall, etc. (early on at least). I am slowly learning the method to this madness!

note: this picture was taken several months ago on a friend's motor-bike, I"ll post some pics of me on mine later. Ohh, she'll need a name, so leave any name suggestions for the new bike under "comments." haha...thanks!

A New Era

Well, things are a-changing as they usually do in this ex-pat life. My friend and roomie, Chesi has gone back to America and I've been holding down the fort alone for a week now. So far, so good! I miss my Katherine, but this is what was best for now. I think I will be learning things about God, myself and just life in general that I might never have if I had a roommate. Another new change is not being the "newbie." Also, we have a new teacher at EEC now, David. It's a nice change for Roger, Courtney and I not to be the freshest rookies.




Per Chesi's request, before she left we took full advantage of cheap $6 studio photography. She and I took some pics together and then the other women. Enjoy the cheesiness!



Please notice little Nicole's face (at the top). We let the little girls have their time in the spotlight as well. Nicole had some troubles finding her natural smile though. Precious huh?
