Once a month the missionaries are allowed to get together for a P-Day activity of a more substantial nature. I volunteered to be the fun chairman and have been combing the Indonesian travel book that we have. We decided as a group to visit Taman Safari, near Malang on November 30th. We rented a small bus, which, we were told, would hold 12 passengers plus the driver. Well, the seating was a bit less than that! But we all scrunched and without seatbelts, made the trip. We met the Malang missionaries there and had a grand time. After the initial "safari" bus ride through the park, we were dropped off at an area where we could walk around to see more animals, get pictures taken holding animals, and see animal shows. It was really very good! After we had all gotten our fill of animals and were starving to death, we went to the parking lot and ate the lunch the Keplers and we had fixed. The American missionaries were thrilled to pieces to get peanut butter sandwiches. On their missionary allowance, they surely can't afford peanut butter and jam, so this was a rare treat. We returned home by way of the back roads, along the mountains, because of a huge traffic jam on the main road from Malang to Surabaya. The scenery was beautiful. What a fun relaxing day!

This is a mud flow, or mud volcano, covering several miles.
They've built a dike around it 3-4 stories high to try to
contain in. |

I loved the wood carving on the right and was lucky to
snap this picture from the safari bus! |
