twelve -- sensory overload

Again, so much happened today, but I don't have time to talk about it all.. A few miscellaneous things...

CHECK OUT my pictures from Friday, at the King's Cemetery and the beach! Indian Ocean, whoo!

Nina's Meals Today (since I talk about it so much anyway..)

• Breakfast: the potol vegetables, rice, cup of Good Day chococcino, the spicy red fried soy bean bits
• Snack at the mountain village: Taro, cassava, fried sweet potato, corn, hot tea, boiled banana, peanuts. It was a huge spread and absolutely gracious on the part of the villagers. See, the reservoirs for the Rotary project was in the mountains. We thought the brakes would die!
  
• Lunch: at a place similar to where Agustini and Heri went to their first big dinner together -- you could catch your dinner! I had mie goreng ayam (literally, noodle fried chicken) and es kopi susu jahe (ice coffee milk ginger). We had said lunch very later, around 3:30. Noted events? Avery and Stephen went to the live music band and sang "Killing Me Softly" and the Titanic song. Classic! We later went on a wooden raft in the small pond.
• Dinner: was delicious. We had soto, which is soup. In this soup was lettuce, chicken, crispy stuff, sprouts, chili sauce, lime. Wonderful. The soup was accompanied by fried patwan (corn) patty -- I think I got the translation right! The Ibu had a very awesome orange for me. Oranges here are strange - they have a green peel! Anyway, all four of us (Ibu, Sonny, Aida, and I) ate together. We chatted about what cafes (clubs) I would go to tonight with the group, motorcycles, Starbucks, and driving exams in the U.S. Not quite sure if they understood everything I said, but...

Time for me to go! I have to do something with my hair and maybe so make-up before I go out... We have our host family's permission, as well as Agustini's, to take the cars to check out the Yogya nightlife. No worries, we are getting rides home!
