Road to Indonesia---PON Games

 What a tremendous privilege.  The PON National Sports Week Games are being hosted in Papua, which means things are very, very busy around here for the next 2 weeks. A huge gorgeous new stadium as well as numerous other locations around the area have been built. The games are played every 4 year and were to have been played in 2020, but like so much else was delayed by a year.  That our remote island was chosen to host these activities is really quite something. The airport that must accomodate all this activity is just a few miles down the road from us.  The main stadium is about 20 minutes away.  There has been much speculation about how this might effect we who live here, from internet shut down, to crippling traffic, but so far, so good.
