October Trip to Jogyakarta

Jogyakarta was a trip we took all the way back in October, but I feel I cannot neglect posting pictures of this trip before I post pictures of our trip to Australia.  This was a short trip to a city in Indonesia on the same island as Jakarta.  It is a city full of culture and we enjoyed exploring it with two other families.  It was a nice time away and, once again, a fantastic opportunity to appreciate God's creation and His diverse world.

Bakpia are small, round-shaped sweet rolls stuffed mainly with beans, but other fillings as well.  While visiting, this gentlemen was sleeping on the job!

A fascinating city with so much to see.  We enjoyed our time in Jogyakarta.
