Last Day in Indonesia

Today is our last day in Indonesia. We have spent the past 2 days in Bali. On Saturday, we went to the Seeds of Hope orphange, which supports over 80 children! The kids are so talented! When we arrived, they put of a concert for us! There was traditional Indonesian music. Then a group of kids played guitar and sang while three little girls danced with tambourines. I was quite impressed! After the show, we did some arts and crafts with them. We showed them shrinky dinks. They used colored pencils to color on one side of the shrinky dink, which is like a plastic sheet. Then we baked the shrinky dink in the toaster oven and the shrinky dink will shrink.
Yesterday, we had a day of relaxation. We hung out Seminyaka Beach in the morning and headed to Kuta Beach in the afternoon. Our hotel is right on Seminyaka Beach which is beautiful at night. No one is out and we can see so many stars in the sky. Before bed, we've been hanging out on the beach, looking out for shooting stars and wishing that we could share the amazing night time beach moments with the Polehan kids.
In a few hours, we will travel back to Seeds of Hope Orphanage. We might do a paper airplane project and some more arts and crafts with the kids. Then we begin our journey home. Tonight, we fly back to Surabaya. In the morning, we fly out to Hong Kong and then back to America! We looking forward to sharing stories with loved ones and biting into a delcious hamburger! See you soon!
