We're back!!!

Taken at a weaving villiage just outside of Tetebatu, Lombok...I purchased this particular Ikat, the term used for the Indonesian weavings.
Typical street scene near smaller villiages, notice the motorbike & various fruits...the minivan taxi also transports goods.
A horse for sale at the Cattle Market, every Monday in another small village outside of Tetebatu. This horse will be used to pull a dokar (as they are called in Bali and Lombok) or Cidomo (as they are called in Sulawesi), the horse carts, used as public transportation. See below.
A cheap & sometimes breezier way to get around, plus many horses have bells or chimes!
Who knew-Pointsettia grows in the tropics, near the Equator, yet we equate it with cold weather because of its symbol of Christmas.

Me? I'm fun, spontaneous, brave & sensitive. I love being outdoors, but I love to relax too. I'm somewhat of a cat. Spring and summer are my favorite seasons; actually winter and fall aren't bad either! I enjoy kayaking, hiking, camping, and cycling.
