Indonesia Continued

We spent a few days in Jogja, an awesome city in central Java. There is tons of museums, music and cultural sites there. We saw a puppet show and a classical dance performance and heard tons of gamelan music. We also visited Borobudur Temple, which is one of the seven wonders of the world. It is a huge Buddhist temple in a beautiful mountain valley. We also went to Prambanan, which is a complex of many ancient Hindu temples in various states of repair/disrepair. Pictures later.

We are now in the province of Aceh on the northern tip of Sumatra. After getting into Banda Aceh, we went to an AWESOME island called Pulau Weh, and have been doing tons of snorkeling. We'll write more about this friendly, beautiful place later. Here are some pics from the internet of some of the cool stuff we've seen:

We'll be back in the US at the end of March.
