i have spent the last three days immersed in orangutans. i can't really even begin to explain the experience. today i held babies as they slept and played with them when they were awake. they love holding hands and biting hands and being amazing and sweet. i also went out into the forest with bigger ones who were agressive and intense. i'm in the weird little internet place in town, but i hardly have any time, so if you want to read more, just read annie's blog:

she has pictures up there too. i'll post some when i get home, whenever that is. i kind of feel like i live here now. it's really hot. really really hot. we usually go home for lunch (home is this fancy weird resort we are sharing with a member of the indonesian parliment) and take a swim in the pool before we go back to the orangs. i'm writing such dumb stuff....i have so much more to say, but maybe i can do it when i get home. hillary leaves tomorrow, and annie and i go to bali the day after tomorrow...for a week i think? time rushes and stands still here. we drove by a motorcycle helmet store and a minaret store and a motor oil store and a honey store. everything has it's own store. everything is wildly different. i will be sad to leave borneo. very sad. but bali should be grand....right?
