pagar alam: no. 3 - wandering

3:00pm after settling into the house of hell, we took a wander around the area before the storm came down on us and stopped at villa dempo's restaurant for some coffee.  we asked for a menu and they didn't have one but they did say they had some coffee and some soup.  we asked about some nearby restaurants but they insisted we dined at the restaurant there.  we asked again for the menu or for more information on what they had.  they said there was soup, vegetables, instant noodles, egg, chicken and fish.  i asked for vegetables with chicken but they said i could only have the vegetables in soup form.  they were really pushing the soup that night.  so i said, okay, i will have the soup.  then they said, we're sorry but it won't be ready until later.  i ended up getting the soup (not very good), some grilled fish and a piece of grilled chicken.  we stayed in the restaurant area all afternoon and into the evening as the storm rolled in.  it was crazy seeing all of pagar alam disappearing into the fog and clouds.

when the rain stopped and dinner was eaten, we went back to our rooms and the reality of sleeping in a tiny bed with springs pretty much sticking out, cockroaches (two scurried over kurt while he was laying down in bed) running around all willy nilly and an evil presence lurking in the air set in.  i texted my friend eline and she helped us book a new place for the following night.  thank you eline!  though i will say, the place had charm and it was pretty funny.  




now you see it
now you don't


we amused ourselves by playing exquisite corpse

off to bed.
