Today is Sunday and Dad took time off from school so we could all visit Borobudur Temple- one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It was really amazing. There are three levels, each representing a different stage in life. The Temple boasts over 500 Buddha statues and possibly just as many trinket sellers right outside the gates. Posted by Picasa

The whole family on the top level of the Temple. The highest level represents enlightenment. The top is circular, with bell shapes covering Buddha statues arranged in a circular pattern of eights (a lucky number). The center is a solid bell, no Buddha inside. Posted by Picasa


Young Indonesian children are taught to shake hands. Here she is shaking hands with a child we met on the top level of the Temple. Posted by Picasa
