I woke up early in the morning because we had a plan to go to Situ Patengan. The way to Situ Patengan usually traffic jam if Idul Fitri holidays. We arrived at 9 am. Situ Patengan is a lake where there was a small island that shaped a heart. There is a big rock that is called "Batu Cinta". Legend said that a long time ago there lived a prince and princess who felt in love but they are separated by condition. After that their tears form a lake. One time, they met again on a big rock which is called "Batu Cinta". My family rent a boat and sailed around that lake. After that we landed on the island to looked at "Batu Cinta". My mom took our picture together. We took a rest for a while, we felt the fresh air and saw a beautiful sightseeing. I think the view is awesome! Then we sailed and went back. We ate lunch at 12.30 pm. We bought Peppino fruits that is believed can heal many sickness. The taste is tasteless.

Today, we went to Kawah Putih Gunung Patuha. Kawah Putih Gunung Patuha is more beautiful than Tangkuban Perahu in North Bandung because it had the characteristic and unique. I saw a big crater that filled with a mixture of water and sulphur. The water of the crater has 3 different colors. Sometimes green like an apple with bluish color if the weather is bright and clear. Sometimes brown like milk and white of followed by fog above the water. I tried to wash my foot into the water but I felt itchy when I lift my foot up. The local guide told me the water contained a sulphur substance. The sulphur useful for skin diseases. The founder of Kawah Putih Gunung Patuha is Dr. Franz Wilhelm Junghuhn. He's a Dutch Botanist, Germany womb. Once again, I won't to lose a good moment to took a picture together.

The last day for us to stay here had finally comes. But before I go, I went to a dog farm near my villa. There are many different types of dogs in there. From small to big. They are cute, smart and kind. At first I want to buy one of them but my parents didn't let me buy it because we had been 2 dogs at home. So I just went back to my car and went back home to Cibubur. Even though I felt happy and enjoy my holidays.

Digestion Adventure
We bite food in our mouth. Then the food turns into our sugar. Next our tongue pushes the food into our throat. A door opens down and goes down into your gullet. Next, muscles squeeze the food down into a tube called the esophagus. Then the value to the stomach opens. Next, the food is being mixed with digestive chemicals. Acid rains down from the pink walls which drip with mucus to keep the them from being eroded. The walls, of your muscle contract and fold in themselves again. Every wave mixes and churns the food and chemicals into smaller bits. Then another value opens and bring the food into the small intestine. Inside the small intestine, liquids and chemicals from places like kidneys and pancreas break down and mixed up the leftovers. From the villi, the nutrients will follow into your blood stream.
Esophagus: The journey starts in the esophagus. I slide to a pink tube in the person's throat. The tube was not too long. The tube was 20-25 cm long. I slide through the esophagus and finally I arrived in the stomach.
Stomach: Finally I arrived in the person's stomach. I stay their for five hours to help them hang a food for hours. I stayed their didn't do anything. Slowly they took my body and I'm having to the small intestines. They slowly took a part of my body and then my body became a solid tiny food. In their they transfer me to a very long journey.
Abdomen: They bring me to a tube like a tunnel. The tunnel is like aslide on a swimming pool. It is very long to go to the end. I really have to wait for an hour and hour. Even my body is now already became a solid food.Small intestine: Slowly they take my body intestine for the person's (vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and my fat).
Large intestine: Finally apart of my body became a large intestine and I will get out of the person's body through the anus.
