It is already Thursday, October 2nd- this holiday is flying by. Regina and her family are having a family portrait taken, and I have some time to catch up. Yesterday was Idul Fitri the holiday ending the month of fasting. All government offices as well as business were closed. There were parades and fireworks and lots of people on the roads. We took a tour up to the mountains – Regina’s family has a driver who really knows the island. We took windy roads, up the mountain, passing old wooden carts being pulled by two scrawny oxen. We stopped in a town that is famous for its peanuts; even the town square had a monument of a peanut. Every shop had its own peanut statue next to the barrels filled with roasted peanuts. Doesn't Jason look so excited to have his picture taken?!
