First Thoughts

I am finally back! It took me a while, roughly 38 hours of traveling before I got here, but here I am. My emotions have been a little up and down, missing family, wondering what the heck I am doing, and utter joy and excitement to be here. I did not realize how much I really love it. I was talking to my mom last night and telling her that there are many things not to love about Indonesia, and yet I love it. Of course there are still other places that I want to go, and there are some things that I will have to get used to again, but for now, I am happy.
After getting off the airplane in Jakarta I made it pretty quickly through immigration, and with a little more difficulty, found my friend Meidy who was to pick me up. We got something to eat, and then got on the bus to head for Bandung....which, due to traffic, took us five hours instead of the allotted two and a half. Yesterday was mostly resting, and a little bit of time out and about, and I think today will be similar. I don't usually have jet lag, but I think I do a little bit this trip. It is hard for me to sleep past 6:30, and I start to really want to go to bed around 8pm, but hopefully that won't last long.
I have a nice little room here, and though I don't know the day to day plan I think that it will be a really good three weeks here in Bandung. I am remembering the language, and the way daily life goes, and I don't think it will take me long to get back into the flow of everything. I know that this would not be possible without your support and prayers. I love you all very much. Talk to you soon. View outside of my window.
