looking back

 so back at easter this year

we went as a family to the Indonesian island of Ambon

for one part of this journey we traveled by boat to
another larger, yet far less inhabited island called Seram

earlier today i was reminiscing about traveling with our little boy

i enJOYed reliving the moments
thought i'd share some of them with you

here are a few from the brass band serenade on our group arrival

the serene moments on the remote white sands of a far flung beach

accidental time spent singing simple songs & nursery rhymes with 

the children at the village at the end of the road

this singing was one of my absolute highlights

we sang they sang we all sang

& danced & clapped 

.... wonderful pure simple honest humanness

 i said back then it is a slice of heaven on earth

 my parents on the other long boat

.... the bright orange makes for some visual drama hey!

 Oscar with Willie our cook 

.... its because of her, he will eat fried eggs!

 swimming in the warm sea waters

watch out for stone fish

 here's our Lawamena mission team

an amazing adventure

would you like to know how to get there?

details are back here (towards the end of the post)
