My quote for the year!

"If a journey doesn't have something to teach you about yourself, then what kind of journey is it? There is one thing I'm already certain of: Though we may think we choose our journeys, they choose us."
-Kira Salak

My days in Penang

Start off taking photos of the buildings...

Stop for a coffee and to start writing in my journal and yes,

finally my children's book!

Head to the Eastern and Oriental Hotel to enjoy the sun, water and of course some wine!

The skies start to change and a huge storm is coming in...

So, I enjoy another glass of wine :)

Georgetown

Love all of the art on the temples!

Many temples and old buildings in Georgetown.

Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion- Penang

I love it here in Penang. This is where I am staying... the Blue Mansion. 

I will have a place like this one day with an open courtyard that collects the rain!!!

Perhentian Island

The beauty of the taxis in Perhentian!

My favorite... coconuts!

 The view from where we have all of our meals!

Kota Bahru

Kota Bahru was our night stop before going to the Perhentian Islands. 

All of the pictures are from just walking around and I love all of the old buildings. The last one is of a lady in the market. That was my favorite discovery. Inside of this huge market- in the middle- all of the ladies are selling fruits and vegetables. 

Ulu Perak- Malaysia Week with the kids

Here we have made it to our camp site and we are leaving a natural mark that we have been here using rocks, shells, twigs, sand etc.

This is one of our campsites. Get ready to raft!

Love this picture as it shows the river early in the morning.

Yes, I am on the back- right. I look under control, don't you think :)
