Going to Jember

It is Monday. The Loving Monday (Soma Kasih 12). At 8:00 I and Nuri left the house for Jember. Nuri would go there to meet her colleagues to survey the place for a reunion. Going to Jember was time consuming since the road was stopped since there was a bridge rehabilitation at a place near Nangkaan. So, we had to use village roads. At about 10:00 we arrived at Jember. I got off at the townsquare and Nuri continued going.

I walked along perimeter road and stopped at a pecel lodeh foodstall on Jalan Sultan Agung alley III. The stall located in the alley. I had breakfast there, a rice pecel dish. I sat on the edge of the alley, where a passerby might passed by. I spent Rp21.000 for the breakfast and a cup of tea.

I then walked along streets of Fatahillah, Gatot Subroto,and Diponegoro. I stopped and came in Johar Plaza Matahari. I came to the toilet for defecate. I then sat on a chair in the ground floor and had a break. At 12:30 Nuri asked me to meet her in Lestari Resto.

I walked along streets of Diponegoro, Gatot Subroto, and Kartini to get there. The resto was a big Javanese styled building, and cozy. I waited for her and the others for about 5 minutes. They were Asri 'Yayuk' Wahyuningrum, Amaril 'Lili' Iswardani, Dadang, and his wife Didin. We had lunch while they discussed their survey findings. Relo Batik,
