Jakarta was the final stop on Grammie's summer tour of Southeast Asia. This coincided with a visit from our friend's daughter, Caroline, so we took them to the textile museum to try their hand at Batik. We arranged for them to experience the infamous Jakarta traffic. Grammie witnessed Emilie and Caroline slide down a 72 Meter long slide (Grammie was happy to observe from the bottom of the 7 story high slide). We took Grammie on a tour of JIS where she drooled over the facilities (especially the beautiful libraries); And we showed her a little of what our day to day life is like in Jakarta. 
But, I think the thing Grammie enjoyed the most was spending a few hours volunteering at the Trash Picker's community preschool! Grammie jumped right in and the children were immediately drawn to her.
After a few short days in Jakarta, it was time for Grammie to head back to Phoenix. We were very sad to see her go, but hope she enjoyed her little visit to our corner of the world!
