It was well worth it too as we joined a family wedding for Koko's wife Ayu's sister today. This friendly wedding was held at home & partially in the street & allowed us to meet family and friends, visit with Koko who was sick during our last visit, and enjoy more great Padang food.
When we headed home the plan was to pick up roast duck (Bebek) for everyone but traffic delays caused us to miss out as the place closed before we arrived. No worries, we drove on to another family favorite Padang spot where we were finally able to treat after Nana and Iin supervised the selection of dishes for each of us which were then wrapped in banana leaves and paper. We had another feast and struggled to finish the big portions.
We also got a good look at the large University of Indonesia where Obama recently spoke. This event is often mentioned when we tell people we are from America. The campus looks impressive and well appreciated with lots of students and others enjoying the many grounds we saw. This place looks worth further investigation "lien kali". I spotted a solar facility in front of one of the buildings too, one of the few times I'm seen solar panels here even though the conditions seem ideal for more.
We are sitting around now listening to the hard rain that has started again while we twitter about the day and wait for Eko to return from his off-shore weekend work project.
A good plan implemented today.
