Wow, it is so hard to believe I have been here TEN days. Also, typing a blog, with a Japanese Keyboard, with no one home but Johnny and I. Chuck and Miyoko are at meetings, Sheena, Joey, and Charles are at school, and Johnny and I are home. Johnny has been sick with an Amoeba infection in his bowels.
We went away for the weekend last weekend on a three day trip up to the mountains. We stayed at a lovely villa called Bukit Talita Mountain Resort and Spa http://www.talitaresort.com/about.html . The car had to climb a very steep hill to get us up to the resort but the views were fabulous!!!! Especially at night overlooking the valley below. The weather was only in the 70 degree range and it was lovely to sit around outside and visit. Chuck, Charles IV, and Joey got a guide to go on the puncak trek up to Mt. Gede and Pangrango, where they saw a volcano, hot springs, and allot of natural wildlife within the fauna.http://www.puncaktrek.com/ . If you look at the photo of Sheena and I you can see the mountain they climbed for a ten KM trail behind us. The hotel was two miles up from sea level and if you click on the link you can see all they saw!!!!
Miyoko and I went to the outlet malls to shop with their nanny (Octane), Johnny, and Sheena. Wow, the roads were really narrow and dropped off!!! Their driver Woko, was very adept at the driving, good thing because it made me nervous!
On the way home we visited the Taman Safari Indonesia. http://www.tamansafari.com/agp/ This place was really cool, you could even hold the baby animals in a special area to have your picture taken!!! 
Yes, these are babies, not big ones! Sheena would not do it though so only the boys, and brave little Johnny!
Johnny had been asking for a horseback ride for days as many of the people were riding them around the mountain area, I think it was a smarter way to travel than the car as the roads were so narrow. Finally, at the safari park, he was able to get one. You can tell he is really happy about it and not at all nervous. Miyoko is more nervous than he is!
Anyways the time here is going too fast!!!!!!!
