Joe and MA, in sarongs, in front of Borobudur (thirsty for beer after an hour plus in the heat and humidity!).
a view out from among the stupa near the top of Borobudur
among the stupa approximately half-way up the steps to attain enlightenment; looking over the gardens
everyone wants a picture of Buddha!
Sadly, many of the statues were vandalized during the years when Borobudur was not maintained.
at the base of Borobudur; note the speakers high on the left, available for the call to prayer
one of the 504 Buddha at Borobudur
Joe saluting from a low level of the temple; you can see the narrative relief in the sones behind him; hopefully you can get a sense of the steps as you look to the right.
I think we should add a sarong to one of our walks on the boardwalk! These pictures are great and it looks like you both are having such a wonderful time.
Avast me hearties! Don’t know if Indochine is in your plans but a friend from B.C. recently visited Ankor Wat and had her sunglasses stolen by a monkey. At least it wasn’t a flying monkey!Cheers, B&B
Hey Bob – you have to look out for the monkeys – the Macack (I am sure that is misspelled) are apparently pretty quick to grab anything they can from tourists. We’d love to see Ankor Wat but it’s far from where we will be, so I guess it will have to wait.
Hope you guys are well.
We’ll be in Vancouver for the day on May 3 – want to get together?
Love,
Joe and MA
