One morning after breakfast my wife says; “Want to go soak in some hot springs?” I was sweating profusely and answered; “Are you crazy?

Food. We all need it. Back home food was generally something we ate three squares a day. Here in Indonesia on our sabbatical food has been an experience. We’ve been eating very well since arriving, trying new things and just experiencing the whole food culture. I...Connect!
