Palaeontologist in the making


Dallin and Popo working to extract dinosaur bones. A Christmas gift from Aunt Lokien... she comes up with the coolest stuff! I'd love to know how she thinks of these things.

Monas






We took my Mom and Dad to visit Monas, which is a huge structure built to commemorate Indonesia's Independence from the Dutch on 17 Aug. 1945. The structure includes dimensions that relate to the date of their independence which I think is pretty cool. It was really high which of course meant that my palms were sweating incessantly, but the view was excellent. There's a picture of their Declaration of Independence... just a teeny bit shorter than the US'.
