Mountains over Dili

Last Monday another teacher at the school,
Curran, took me up into the mountains on
his motorbike, for which I will be forever and
eternally grateful. The temperature is as much
as ten degrees cooler by the time you get to the
top, which makes one wonder why everyone
doesn't just move to the mountains. And the
views, of course, are great. I, unfortunately,
thought that I would take pictures on the way
down but by the time we were coming down
it had started to rain on the mountains (the
rain never actually made it into town) and the
whole city was over cast (but considerably
cooler, so I am not complaining.) There are
some wonderful eucalyptus forests on the
way up - all I can say is, I'll have to go back.
Not just to take better pictures.
