The Familiar Unfamiliar

Spent the day in Sidoarjo looking for a truck to rent to move one set of elders next Tuesday.  Lunched at McDs and spent the afternoon/evening visiting teaching four sisters.  The sights have become so familiar that sometimes I forget how awesome they are!  Am trying to be better about preserving them through photos....
Stopped at a roadside fruit stand to buy bananas, clementines, and something else that we don't have in the states and I don't know the name of (little round brown fruits pictured above)


This is how we park on the street when stopping at the fruit stand...still on the street...and traffic just moves around you
