So we're off to the small islands tomorrow which means this will be the last post for a bit.
Be not afraid hahaha, it'll be fine. We're surrounded by experienced professionals, and loving locals so...yea there's not much else I can say to comfort those who would bother worrying except that I feel safe here. Example: We had to go on an excursion scavenger hunt to take pictures and I had to ask directions to the next spot. When I asked a man on a motorbike where to go he just shrugged and told us to follow him. In the states I would never for a minute trust anybody who would say "just follow me" because in our culture nobody has time to lead anybody anywhere. Here however there is tons of time for shooting the breeze and leading people places. One of our guides told me something very basic that I think everybody should know, "we walk slow enough so that we can talk while we walk."
I dunno if you've ever tried it, but she made me try it. First of all it is DIFFICULT for me to walk slow, second of all to be able to carry on a conversation comfortably you have to be walking especially slow.
So, while I am away, walk slow my friends. Walk with each other and walk slow.
Much love, be back in a few days or weeks I might not want to come back actually.. (just kidding mom, sorry that wasn't funny).
PEACE YA'LL!

Kirra! I found your blog - yes!
Sorry I didn't get in touch with you before you skedaddled. Sounds like Indonesia is great and the people really nice. I wish we had more time to walk and walk slowly...it would be lovely and you're right - we don't have enough time for strangers here which is muy triste. I'm going to have to think about that. Love you! (how do you say that in Indonesian?)
