Our Indonesian friends left Boise on Saturday morning; they should be home by now! What a great time we had! Thanks to Janice Fulkerson for arranging the week's activities, Cornelia Sprung for finding our host families, and John and Linda Biggs for hosting Yoga. The five delegates were here under the auspices of the Congressional Office for International Leadership's "One World" program. Their theme was "Judicial Rule of Law". They spent the week visiting State/County/City courts to witness our procedures. They met with supreme court justices, attorneys general, and even met with Gov. Little. They discovered that our judicial systems are quite different. Theirs is based on Dutch common law since Indonesia was a Dutch colony until after WWII. (Bet you didn't know that!) Let's watch for another Open World opportunity in the future!
