Gili T and Me-August 19th

I was so eager to wake up and take sunrise photos that my eyes opened for the first time at 5:30 am, an entire HOUR before the sun actually came up. However, the sunrise was beautiful and I couldn't have been happier that I chose Gili T as a vacation spot.


After returning to my room, I sat on my porch, ate some breakfast, and relaxed for a bit before heading for a walk around the island.

The weather was gorgeous and I took my time walking along the beach, stopping occasionally to dip into the unforgettably blue water.  This place is bursting with phenomenal picture opportunities and any moron could easily wave a camera around, snapping at random, and still end up with great pictures. Here are some of mine.

I closed out this day listening to the mosque loudspeakers proclaiming the end of Ramadan and the start of Idul-Fitri, the reason for my week long holiday. I know that many of my students are happy that the fasting month is over but I will miss it as classes were shorter and I actually had a dinner break. Ramadan was fun while it lasted.
