Rain!

Thankfully it rained the other day.  Only lasted around two hours but came down steadily.  Woke us up around 5 am.  We sat out on our porch and enjoyed the fresh breeze and the cool air.  We decided to skip breakfast and go for a long walk in the rice fields while we had cloud cover and everything was damp and green in the soft light.  What a gorgeous walk.  Long vistas, endless clouds, rice paddies reflecting the sky in the water.  Friendly farmers greeting us with mostly toothless grins and pleasant "Salamat Pagi", Indonesian for "good morning".  Just as we began to question the path which got a bit obscure, we found a simple wooden hut with a guy selling fresh coconuts, and he showed us where to cross the river.  Took a couple of hours to complete, wandering along slowly, totally enchanted with the scenery.  Hope it rains again!
