To celebrate the 4th Anniversary of
@America (a programming space sponsored by the U.S. Embassy), Indonesian and American cowboys gathered to kick up their heels in a very hip surreal display of country western, Jakarta style.
 |
| The Honorable Ambassador Cowboy Blake kicked things off. |
 |
| A former National Rodeo circuit roper from Arizona told us about growing up in the West, his family history with horses and ranching, and his past in the rodeo. The presentation was complete with a roping demonstration together with a young "sheriff" from the crowd. |
 |
| The Indonesian country western group "Old Friends" rocked us out to classics while a local line dancing group worked on getting boots on the floor. |

There are times abroad when the set up is so unbelievable - in a cool way. This event caught me off guard, made me tap my toes, and left me with a goofy, homesick grin. Happy anniversary, @atAmerica!
