| The government forestry office (Dinas) in Jeneponto. |
Today my work partner Pak Mahmud and I attended a meeting of a foresters group about a half hour's drive from Jeneponto. Our first stop was at an open air market for supplies, and to get quotes on a refrigerator and fan for me.

| The appliance store with good prices on fridges. |
 |
| Huge volcanic boulders, incredibly rocky ground, and of course, lots of trees. |
 |
| The local foresters group. The meeting was either about the Social Forestry Network, an organization to which all ASEAN countries belong, or the current market value of mahogany, or both. I'm catching about one word in 5 or 6, and trying hard. |
 |
| The meeting was followed by lunch at Pak Mahmud's inlaws' house. |
And finally, these ladies are regular visitors to my house in the afternoon. They are both artists (I have a stack of drawings to stick to the wall when I get some scotch tape) and fashion critics (apparently my hiking boots are "boy's shoes" - fair enough).
