Project Peace: Es Puter

Want some Es Puter?  What's that?  Well, we found out when we stopped the Es Puter man as he pushed his  cart down our street.  Each street vendor has a unique sound and part of our Peace Project is to find out which sound goes with which vendor!  The Es Puter man rings a bell (you can see his bell tied to the handle of his cart).  Es Puter comes down our street mid-morning.  He sells a cup of his sweet treat for 2,000 Rp (about 20 cents).  It is a spoon of black rice, a spoon of boiled peanuts and then a scoop or two of milky chocolatey ice cream.

It was fun to try...not on our list of favorite snacks!  Part B of our "vendor goal" is to either go outside and say hi to the vendors we have already met, or use their unique "sound" to remind us to pray for them.  So each day, when we hear the Es Puter man ring his bell, we wave hello to him, or we stop what we are doing and pray for him.
