Biking this past weekend.

A week ago today Doug and I went for an four hour bike ride with a few friends. It was amazing. There were no hills but you had to pedal the whole time. There were no hills to go up this time but if you stopped moving your feet then you probably would have fallen over...well maybe that is just me. We got to see so much of Beliun that we had not seen before.

A lot of the area was a huge contradiction, there is so much growth but at the same time there are these random plots of land growing rice and veggies. Or these areas with pigs and chickens....also don't you worry there were plenty of smells that you wouldn't believe.

Well here are some pictures.


My big butt and some beautiful trees...we are headed to a village that is one of Robbie Daniels' favorites. They even had a communist party house. Beautiful there were mountains right outside the village, and very quiet. The village wasn't too much like the one where people were fishing and doing their laundry in the same small water area.

The big building in the background is a crematorium. Yup definitely thought it was a temple...definitely wrong.
Here's a great picture of one of the random farm areas that we got to see. Doug did such a good job with this photo.
Yes this is a huge contradiction...no idea what the plant was for. It's funny in these pictures you see so much green and clean but in real time...it is really dirty.
The things floating in the water are soda bottles...we think iwas for catching fish or growing fish, but the whole river was covered in all of these bottles. It was amazing.

We had tons of fun we went to the shore...also....more to come.
