Our first view of Sulawesi, Indonesia.  Indonesia has 13,670 islands (more than 7,000 of them are uninhabited).

Look at the cone-shaped mountain!  Many of the islands here are volcanic.

This was our welcoming commitee at the harbor --part of a folklore group.

Street scene in Manado.  Nearly 90% of the people are Muslim.

Growing rice in Sulawesi.  I took this photo through a window of a bus, while riding though the Indonesian countryside.

Processing coconuts at a copra factory. 

Indonesian folklore dance group.  It was 35 degrees Celsius (about 95 F).  They must have been very hot while dancing in those costumes!
