Central Java wakes up to the golden rays of the sun...
This photograph was taken from the summit of Gunung Sindoro at 3150m. I climbed this dormant volcano on 15th May 2011 with the help of 1 guide and 1 porter and camped overnight. We started the hike from a village called Sigedang which is to the North of Sindoro. It took us around 5 hours to reach the summit. We descended to the east and finished at a village called Kledung.

On the south side one leaves the Bangsal Pagelaran Sasonosumewo through a grand staircase leading south, in the midst of which is a square stone set level with a step of the stairs. This is a most auspicious stone, called Selo Pamecad, which was brought from the former court at Kartasura. It is said to have been used as an anvil to crush the skull of Trunojoyo, the Madurese leader of the violent uprising in 1680.
At the top of the staircase is a rather elegant gateway called Kori Wijil. It is closed with low iron bars, not forbidding (for it is easily climbed over, would one wish to do so), but rather modest and highly symbolic. The word wijil comes from mijil, meaning 'going out' or I appearing': thus Kori Mijil literally means the door through which one exits Pagelaran in order to enter Sitihinggil. It is also said that it carries the meaning of 'Wijil wicoro tatag tanggon hanggayuh sampurnaning hurip', or'the oath of a person determined to attain perfection in one's life" and Awas amut tansah hanjogo'wijilingwicoro, ojo nganti katalompen', meaning:'be careful of that which you express in speech, don't ever speak inappropriately and lacking in proper calm'.
Passing through Kori Wijil, one reaches the Sitihinggil courtyard, which also contains several buildings. Sitihinggil itself is meant to be a raised area, to be reached by going up a flight of stairs, and meant to resemble a small mountain, like'the back of a tortoise'. Literally Sitihinggil, 'high ground' comes from the Javanese words siti,'soil', and inggil, 'high'. It is said that the original soil level here was raised to its present height with earth from Tolowangi, a place where the soil is known to be extraordinarily fragrant. The complete name for this area is Sitihinggil Palenggahaning Ratu, a chronogram which defines its year of construction AD 1766 (A.J. 1701), during the reign of Paku Buwono III (r. 1749-1788)

Java Junction, a coffee house in Madrid, NM (pronounced MAH-drid) that also sold handcrafted clothes and rented out a room as a B&B -- "private bath and kitchen." The B&B is the one thing I wish I'd asked about. There is no potable water in Madrid. Whatever water you drink here must come from a bottle or be otherwise brought in. There is running water, but it's not fit to drink. Among other chemicals, it's said to have arsenic in it. A woman we talked to in one of the shops said she bathed in it anyway, and also bathed her 3-year-old daughter in it. But would you want to brush your teeth in it?
