Stanley's trip to the countryside

I think the only time Stanley was exposed to farm animals in the United States was in that little petting zoo in Disneyland (yes, it exists. It's located along the walkway that connects Frontierland to Fantasyland, behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Do I sound like I've been to Disneyland too often and I'm missing it? Yes! ... but that's another story).

Here in early October he went with Bern and Opa Richard (Bern's dad) to a tiny village in Jonggol, a lush countryside of rice paddies less than 2 hours from Jakarta. The reason for the trip was to pick up mbak Acih, Brennan's nanny, at the end of her one week Lebaran holiday.

Brennan and I stayed home in Jakarta (we both had made the trip before).
