Another beautiful Borneo sunrise and sunset. If I can receive those two gift each day I will be happy. Ezra woke up around 5AM, which was perfect to rouse everyone into an early morning sunrise walk. Dwana and I have determined that our children eat better in the wild. In the wild, there is less conversation about spilt drinks, dropped food on the floor, and general commanding tones that seem to follow when we all try to sit down inside for breakfast. So, I packed a backpack with water and breakfast items and off we go. We walked East up the Beach to see if we could show Dwana the Monkeys. She is not too fond of monkeys, but these are our first “wild” monkeys. Kinda like the wild dogs running loose. No monkeys, but we saw a water buffalo enjoying a bath. Later in the afternoon, we biked to the market for our 20 cent scoop of ice cream. We found a playground on the way back and played tunnel mouse tag. Having bikes has made a difference. Ezra is the leader and does not complain about any distance we go on pavement. I went on a run to the river mouth and saw 17 water buffaloes enjoying low tide. I am glad they were on the other side of the river. The new moon caused a really low tide. The sunset was shaping up to be a nice one. I came back to the house and Viena and I went back out past the grazing water buffaloes and had a great sunset on the beach. We saw a double rainbow. On my run I saw what I thought was a rather large monkey on the rocks but turned out to be a human. Funny, I do not expect to see people on the beach, must less climbing around on the rocks.
