Gedong Songo
We love visiting these ancient Hindu temples near Salatiga. It's a fun hike to see all nine temples, up on the side of the mountain where it's cool and quiet!
Last Saturday, we rented a car and took our new friends, the Epps, who have been with MAF for 25 years and have taken on a new assignment to Indonesia to help with maintenance and teacher needs in Tarakan, Kalimantan. Even though we won't be on the same base, the Epps are still a part of our Kalimantan team and they already feel like family. They're only here in Salatiga for a couple of months, just to get a start on the language.
We had so much fun...and even got a rare photo or two with all five of us in it at once, looking at the camera! Nevermind the squinty eyes. *sigh* We can't have it all, now, can we?!
We also went to Gedong Songo last year...only then, we not only couldn't pronounce the name, we couldn't even remember it! It's Javanese, so I still can't tell you for sure what it means. Maybe Nine Temples/Buildings?! Oh, and this year, Paige hiked it herself instead of riding on my back the whole way!
