A good weekend

The Sandbergs in Indonesia
We all had a great weekend as Claire began playing with the Jakarta Girls Soccer Club and she is starting to hang out with other girls at the American Club.
Derek has somehow been made offical (dispite the fact that he is underage) for the Komodo Dragons and they are grooming him for a game against Singapore playing "post" what ever that means. The team plays their away games in other countries, Joel and Derek may be traveling to a few.
I have to descibe what it is like watching rugby. The team plays at about 5pm so the locals around the club are starting open fires for their dinners, a smokey haze kind of hangs over the rugby pitch after awhile. As the sun sets, the sky literally turns purple and orange against the out lines of palm trees that line the field. At about 6:30 the evening call for prayer goes out so a mystical wailing plays in the backgound of this scene as the players crash into each other in the weird dance of rugby that I have yet to understand. Every time we are there I feel this same other worldly-ness about the whole scene.
