Pics from Bukit Lawang... in no particular order...

Me and the Girls at Nora's.



Meet Damien! He's Nora's nephew. His Mom teaches English at the community school. Great lady.


Trekmate Rob, from Vancouver, in one of the motorcycle taxis we take to the bus stop outside the village.



Meet Yen and our favourite Bukit Lawang feline, aptly named "Cat". Yen was super cute and gave me lessons in Bahasa Indonesia.



The very vertical climb down to the river! More vertical than this picture shows, even. You would probably get dizzy from the verticalness if the picture showed it more accurately. Did I mention vertical?




Something is wrong with this picture- how did I get as tall as Pat? I suppose the jungle brings out the beast in me.





Patrick, posing with beautiful Sandra (Queen of the Sumatran jungle).






Isn't she wise looking? And she really loves her three month old bebe.







Sooooo photogenic, Sandra. Tyra would love you.




One more with the bebe, for good measure.



Saying a sad goodbye to Jackie...




Jackie is smothering me with her love; that's why you can't see me in this picture. Actually, she is eyeing the bananas.


Nom nom nom nom nom.




Lots of hugs.




She sure loves bananas. Her bebe wants some banana, too.



Sharing a quiet moment.




Rob crossing the river. We camped on the other side.




Kisses.


The very poisonous centipede. Pat took the picture and I ran away.




The tuuuuuubes!



















Those little thieving macaques.




















Keeping a close eye on the little shits.






















Sanur and his assistant, cooking up a delicious storm.





















Mr. Gibbon says: What's in yer bag?























Mina, the angry orangutan.





























Sandra, running away from Mina...




















Wild, pregnant momma.


























Nice flowers everywhere!



























Another wild one.



























And another...













Cute little Thomas Leaf monkey!









Funky Monkey in the tree.



This one's a youngin.



This one's a dude. Notice the beard?


Last, but not least, the village of Bukit Lawang. Beautiful place; beautiful people; beautiful monleys.
