Posting from an iPhone since someone called BS on my wifi connection excuse, here are a few pictures from a nearly incomprehensible Balinese drama. Slice of life 2014. First day of Spring Break.

Here’s a post in which I model for my students taking on the first person narrative of a book character with a possible instagram image that the character might post. Side of the family.

Losing and finding yourself. Surrounded by volcanoes →. Amazing Race Challenge: Locate a Silverbird. March 26, 2014. Our plan was interrupted by a couple of factors. The first was our bags took awhile to be unloaded from the plane which set us back. But the second involved a mad dash through the parking lot with, although impressively compact, heavy heavy carry on bags pulled up over curbs and around cars. This had NOT been in my plans. My plan was to head straight to the Silverbird. With 3 terminals, I&...

This is my final Slice of Life Story Challenge for March 2014, sponsored by Two Writing Teachers! Yesterday, I almost ate bat, but I did taste bat gravy. To be polite.

Losing and finding yourself. My last trip in Indonesia–really →. March 28, 2014. Some people balked at this analogy. My point being, although I knew (and continue to know) little about Islam, I carry a respect for this religion despite being a devout Christian. My aunt was visiting for too short a time to be a part of my daily routine. If she had been able to stay longer, she might have been able to observe someone kneeling to pray. I also have a quiet time in the morning with my prayer journal. At a...

Losing and finding yourself. Floating in a real life aquarium →. My last trip in Indonesia–really. March 29, 2014. Since December, I have been saying that I would be taking. In Indonesia whilst (shout-out to the Brits and Aussies) I prepare to return to the USA, saving up for pergo. Floors and a used car. Then, my aunt and uncle came to visit and we headed to Bali and Garut. Lovely! And about 2 weeks ago a friend asked if I would like to tag along on a diving trip to Manado. You’re my heroes! My blase at...

Losing and finding yourself. Monthly Archives: September 2013. September 29, 2013. In Indonesia, I’m experiencing a throw-back to the days when I didn’t have a washer and dryer and compulsively collected quarters for the laundromat. In this case: it’s taxis. Dave Ramsey–the American financial evangelist for a debt-free, cash-based lifestyle–would endorse … Continue reading →. Now that’s sick. September 6, 2013. I almost ate bat (paniki) . . . ada.

Losing and finding yourself. My last trip in Indonesia–really. I almost ate bat (paniki) . . . ada →. Floating in a real life aquarium. March 30, 2014. Although Michigan is surrounded by water, our water sports are mostly surface: sea doo, water skiing, kayaking, etc. Here in Indonesia the water sport is under the sea. The clown fish, blue starfish, iridescent schools of triangular and striped fish and many more are some of the reasons it’s better down where it’s wetter. View all posts by jaclynfre →.

Losing and finding yourself. Good v evil in Bali. Amazing Race Challenge: Locate a Silverbird →. March 25, 2014. Our local Balinese guide, self described Bali Paul Newman — I think his name is actually Mr. Nyoman — but sounds like close enough, found out what the word “aphrodisiac” meant today. It This launched him into song, singing loudly and winkingly, “Boom boom boom let’s go back to your room…”. Our day was peppered with reminders to “Don’t worry! From temple a few days before the Hindu holiday of N...

Losing and finding yourself. Amazing Race Challenge: Locate a Silverbird. Bowing toward Mecca →. March 27, 2014. My friend, Sam, who has lived in Indonesia for over 15 years gave us the tip to visit a hotel in the mountains. Sam specified a certain room and helped me book it with a down payment in advance. Once, she and her husband were bumped from her favorite room when a visiting dignitary arrived at the hotel on the same day. View all posts by jaclynfre →. This entry was posted in travel. It’s b...
