Makassar, Indonesia

August 26 6:17 am

Hi Everyone,

Our coodinates are 05 08 228 S 119 23 912 E. Maybe you'll see us. Off into the "supposed to be very scenic" mountains to Tana Toraja in about an hour. Homes there are built in the shape of boats or buffalo horns. Also famous for their elaborate funeral rites. Supposed to be a "must see" according to our Rough Guide. We have a driver/guide to take us there. Be gone 2 nights and back by Thursday evening. Not sure of the wifi situation. Hope we don't get altitude sickness after being at sea level for so long!

Makassar very interesting. Foreign and familiar at the same time since in many ways it reminds me of China. More when I can send an email from my computer.
