CAR FREE DAY

Every Sunday is CAR FREE DAY in Jakarta.  In the center of town, the city closes about 3-4 miles of the two busier streets to all motorized vehicles from 6am to 11am.  The streets are full of people walking and bicycling.  Gail and I went down early before church recently and took some pictures.  It is a real happening!  People of all ages enjoy the time.  So do the vendors and people advertising and selling food, balloons, etc.  There was even a display of custom bicycles.  As you look through the pictures, note all the different styles and bright colors.
