I Could Not Have Guessed

In a hundred guesses I would not have guessed that in the past two days I would have:

Swam with dolphins.

Gone paragliding twice.

Eaten coconut heart.

Made 5 new Indonesian friends.

Responded in outrage at the price of a $21 fishing trip.

Had dinner in someone’s home village.

Learned about the internal conflicts within Indonesia.

Jammed out karaoke style on a road trip for two hours with a taxi driver I’d never met before.

Tried a terrible snack from a grocery store, corn and cheese paste inside a sweet wafer – an unholy concoction.

Been catcalled.

Withdrawn 3million rupiah creating the biggest stack of cash, but not most valuable, I’ve ever held.

Gotten my food “to-go” in banana leaves.

Had water randomly pour from my nose thanks to being dragged behind a boat at high speeds for 20+ minutes.

Cried because of the poverty of the locals.
