In Sulawesi we stayed in a typical beach shack and spent several days diving, snorkelling, and reading lots of books. It was a pleasant rest after our more vigorous traveling in Papua the week before. After destroying our diving camera in New Zealand, we didn't get any pictures while we dove the world class reefs in Sulawesi Indonesia. We did manage to get some video of the place, and we plan to make a nice video of our trip for anyone interested later. The reef and sea life were amazing. It was definitely among our top diving experiences. On one dive we had turbo current with the reef whizzing by. We saw lion fish just while snorkeling. They are such unique looking fish (pic from the web):
The highlight of this trip was meeting Vijay and Vivien, a newly married couple from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. We told them that we had a layover in KL after Sulawesi, and they were kind enough to invite us home as guests since they coincidentally were on our same flight. They were very hospitable in letting us stay in their comfortable apartment, and even showed us around several interesting areas of town with nice ethnic food. The highlight was ducking into an Indian restaurant to wait out a torrential downpour as well as getting a Thai Massage. For some reason we both love the torture of the Thai Massages. Needless to say, we were very happy to make some new friends and did our best to convince them to come visit us in Utah some day!

The torrential downpour and thai massage sound like the evening I spent with you guys in Kuala Lumpur. Happy travels!
whoa, what's this about visiting you in Utah? You guys are coming back? J/K that sounds like a lot of fun. You should totally throw a huge party to screen the video of your journeys.
We have been closely following your adventures. We have noted the sutle changes in your your Blog that you have confirmed that people are as interesting as sights and quick acceleration. As we have traveled we note that our pictures capture the sights, our bones and muscles capture the quick acceleration, yet, our minds capture the memories of cultures and friends found along the way.
