Hiking Merbabu

On his birthday Phil got the chance to spend the night hiking our local volcano, Merbabu. He and a group of guys left our house at 9pm to drive to "the last village". They parked their bikes there for the night and began their hike. They hiked all night to make it to the peak for sunrise. It took them a little under 7 hours to make it to the top. When they got home at noon the next day, they were all very exhausted - and happy. Here's some info on our mountain:

They made it in time to watch the sun rise over our town.

My hot hiker man in his shiny silver rain coat (actually, i think that's MY shiny silver raincoat... whatever). They all agreed that they were freezing up there. Though I'm sure it's true, it's hard to believe as I pause to soak the sweat off my brow before continuing to type.

Crazy, beautiful rolly hills.

 Our town is down there somewhere.
