Village by bike

We took an amazing bike ride into a village outside of Yogykarta. Amongst other things, we visited some industries that make krupuk (crackers eaten with most meals), bricks (yup the kind you build buildings with), and tempeh (delish!). We also participated in rice planting and rice harvesting. Check us out planting a bit of rice (it was so fun to get knee deep in mud and push the tiny tendrils into the ground). Also, the last row of bricks were the ones we made (I put my initials in mine!). This was a beautiful glimpse into the hard work and community that made up this particular village.
