Prambanan Hindu Temple, built in the 10th century.  A 5.9 earthquake on May 27, 2006 , destroyed much of the temple complex.  Part of it has been reconstructed.

 We are wearing a Hindu wrap around our waist that was put on us as we entered.  These sweet girls wanted their photo taken and we were happy to do so and spent some time talking with them.

Some more beautiful Indonesian school girls.

These are stones that have been sorted so that some of the temples can be rebuilt.  They look at photos from the past and try to match the stones.  What a long process!  Many of the stones have carving on them.  Some of the temples have been rebuilt.

Danar Hadi Antiques Batik Museum and Factory

 We were not allowed to take photos in the museum.  There were beautiful batik fabrics from different time periods and cultures in Indonesian history.

The factory was a real "sweat shop."  No air conditioning or fans.  The circulating air would put out the flames that keep the wax melted.  The little black pots seen in some photos hold the melted wax.  The wax is applied and then the fabric is dyed.  Where the wax is, no dye will take.  This is done for every color on the fabric.  A very slow, skilled, labor intensive job.  It can take months or longer to make some of the patterns.

Mt Merapi, one of the 16 most active volcanoes in the world.  It has erupted many times, the last October of 2010.   We drove up to it and saw many villages on the slopes of the volcano.  There are 129 active volcanoes in Indonesia.
