Sorry it's been so long since we updated the blog! We've been busy with school and moving and having fun and relaxing.
So we’ve moved into a new house – it’s really big and beautiful. Here are some pictures.
This is called a bale. Every family compound has one:
AJ's room:

The kitchen:
Front room:
Awesome outdoor shower:
Mom's room:
We’re also going to school! In the beginning of the trip we visited a place called Green School. Well, now we’re going to it. It’s pretty much in the jungle, the classrooms are just about outside, there’s a huge river that runs through the middle of the school, and it’s basically pretty cool. Our classes are small and mixed-grade (1-2 and 3-4), and we have to say the work is pretty easy. We get to do things like permaculture class (I was the only one who knew that squash was nitrogen fixing! – AJ), and gamelan (which I don’t like – Padma), and mask making (which I do like – Padma). It’s great to be with other kids again – we’ve already made new friends and had sleepovers and parties.
We'll try to write again soon. We miss everyone, but we'll be home pretty soon.
