Jakarta Street Scenes – I could not get a really good picture of this chair on the side of a building but this gives a good idea of its size. We were too close to cart load of tires to get a full view. I like the way the colors of the cart contrasts with the tires. The last picture is just a shot down one of the little alleys that we see all along the streets – often just between two buildings. This is one we see each day when we go to the office.

  Ed and us at the Jakarta Raya chapel. He really thought this was funny after seeing the largest Mosque and the oldest Catholic church in Indonesia. I told him it was not the outside but what is inside that counts.

When the crisis hit Indonesia in 1997-98 a lot of building that were under construction went unfinished because of lack of finances. Just down the street from our apartment is one of them. About two months ago we started to see some activity at the site. These are shots of the workers breaking back the old concrete to a point where there is good rebar to tie into. Mary pointed out that the crane in the first picture seems to be resting on a pole covered with ivy.
