JAKARTA - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo took advantage of the Eid holiday to visit his homeland in Tawamangu, Karanganyar, Central Java. His goal is none other than to meet his family in his homeland.

Arriving at Griya Sri Soeparni, Tawamangu Hamlet, Karanganyar on the evening of May 2, Ganjar Pranowo was greeted by his older brother, Pri Pambudi Teguh. Ganjar Pranowo enjoyed dinner with his extended family before continuing to tour.

Even though it was night, Ganjar Pranowo took the time to visit the family garden of his late mother, Sri Soeparni, which was named 'Kebon Sri Soeparni Tawamangu'. The next morning, Ganjar did a morning run with his wife accompanied by the cool air at the foot of Mount Lawu.

Even though he was on vacation, Ganjar Pranowo took the time to see the readiness of the tourist area at the tourist sites of The Lawu Park and Sakura Hills.

"How is it, it's starting to get crowded? Well prepared, yes, the health protocols are maintained," said Ganjar in a written statement, Thursday, May 5. At that time Ganjar was talking to the manager of the place.

By noon, Ganjar and his wife returned to Griya Sri Soeparni to prepare to hold Halalbihalal in Kabon Sri Soeparni with their childhood relatives and friends. Ganjar also invited his role model elementary school teacher at SD 02 Tawangmangu, Wagiyo Suratno.

After the midday call to prayer sounded, Ganjar's group headed straight for the Halalbihalal location. Wagiyo and two of Ganjar's close childhood friends, Kamsel and Menuk came together. Seeing the three of them get out of the car, Ganjar immediately hugged the teacher after two years of not seeing each other.

They also gather and reminisce about the past. Ganjar said that he, Wagiyo, Kamsel, and Menuk were 'absent' the names of school friends who used to be naughty and who weren't. Laughing, Ganjar said Wagiyo considered him a good student.
