Surfing


I was able to take a break. My mentor and i went to the coast of Java for some much needed rest and fun.



We traveled for 7 hours but most of it by train. This is me on the rented motor bike we got for two days we just got one.
We were told of a place to surf down the road so we went to check it out but we missed it some how but found other great stuff.
We road the beach for a while.

We made sure to put on sunscreen but i still thought i was going to get burned it was so hot out. I made it the with out getting even much of a tan though.

This is just one of the places we stopped to get out of the hot sun.

The beach is so beautiful but while we were stopped we had to put something over the seat of the motor bike or the seat would be to hot to sit on.
This is along a new road they are making and we were the only ones to stop and take in the beauty. Truly amazing.
I really felt God blessing me this day.
Just one more picture of me a little closer up, just for you mom.

This is the surfing place but not the one we were looking for. This one was right out our door.
This a local, they are very good of course. I on the other hand was not the best but it was only my second time ever.

This is my mentor and a local on the same wave. The waves were pretty small most of the time so when a wave came that you could ride everyone tried for it.


My mentor again. I don't have any pictures of me because we didn't want to take the time to take pictures when the waves were good. The only reason i got any pictures at all is because i fell and hit a rock on my side and that put a end to my surfing. It was close to time to leave anyway so i didn't miss out on to much.
I came back from this trip very sore but mentally and spiritually rested and ready to hit the books hard again.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Son loved your close up and the surfing looked like a lot of fun. If you thought it was hot I am sure it was way to hot for us Alaskan's. Miss you a lot. mom & dad
