Basketball took us to Jakarta, Indonesia.   A total flight time of 24 1/2 hours with 4 legs and 3 layovers - Chicago, San Fran, Seoul, Jakarta.  We are traveling with the USA U18 3 on 3 teams as they compete in the World Championships.  More info about that at www.usa3on3.blogspot.com

Monday - a Day with Duane 
Duane, native of Kalona, Iowa lives in Jakarta and attended several evenings of our games.  We had the privilege to spend all day Monday with him.  He took us to his house in the suburbs, to the traditional mall to shop for souvenirs, out to dinner and to the airport for our 11:50 pm flight.
