Selamat Idul Fitri!

Today is an Islamic holiday, Idul Fitri. It marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting, and the holiday can last about a week. People feast and visit family, and it can be really difficult to get anywhere because the streets can be packed from all the travelers.

Last night we went up to the Dago Tea House, where we had a view of the city to watch the fireworks going off everywhere. Today, since we couldn't do too much, we took off to get out of the city. I went with some friends to what we heard was a tofu factory, but there wasn't much production going on. There were some great fruit popsicles, and some fresh and very tasty fried tofu.



After that, we took an Angkot (a van-like form of public transportation) to Maribaya, where there were supposed to be hot springs. We did find a hot pool, but it didn't look that great, but it was really worth going there for the waterfalls.





And we saw a monkey.



Can you see it? It's right there in the middle. Looks like a macaque, don't you think?

All in all it was a really nice day. Now here's an unrelated pretty picture (of a sunrise):
