Day 145

Today we had lunch behind the ConocoPhillips office building in Jakarta. It's Friday and most everyone goes to lunch and then to the Mosque for an hour or two.

Soto Ayam

Soto Ayam or soup with rice. That's liver in there as well. Oh well, I wanted to try the local cuisine. Not too bad, but I don't think there's anyway to make liver taste good.

Friday market

This is a market that only happens on Friday. The place we ate is at the far end of this image.

This is the signature red tile roofs of the slum areas in Jakarta. This one is right next to the office buildings. I'm working these two weeks in the building just visible to the right.

Close-up of the tiles.

This is the alley way to get into this area. Narrow and not where I normally would have gone.

This is the only place to hang the laundry. We saw this all along this particular alley.

For dinner tonight we went to a TexMex restaurant. We stayed long enough and they had a band play tonight. Mostly 70's and 80's music. Pretty good group.

The lead singer and bass guitar. She sang very well.

Secondary singer and full of personality.

Excellent fiddler.

Adrian, Phil and I. (Adrian's girlfriend used my Canon for this shot)

Relaxing on the street.

Out for an early morning stroll.
