Photos

Dad and I have a few hour layover in Kota Kinabulu on our way to Tawau.
It is beautiful right by the ocean. So many birds while we were landing at the airport. We have all our bags with us, but took a taxi into town. We will be online for a bit, then we will find somewhere for lunch hopefully by the ocean so we can check out the view and birds while we eat. I thought I'd post a few pictures while I have time. These are a little out of order, but I don't have time to get it organized. Some are from my camera and some from dad's.

Kuching means Cat in Malay

Can you tell my pants are soaked and see the background is blurry from the pelting rain.




Mom and dad's house- duplex.



Vegetable market in Bintulu. there is a big meat market and fruit market next door






Jacqueline's mom dancing. I wanted to post the video of her dancing but I couldn't see which I was posting so the video is Jacqueline.





The church in Bintulu




Market outside of church. Dad says the meat in front are chicken butts!



Going to Jacqueline's house- she lived just up the street from this photo



Jacqueline's family- note the 110 year grandfather next to me.



Everyone sits on the floor- this is Jacqueline's family.

Great pictures and I love the video of Jacquline dancing. It is so great to read your posts. I feel like a little part of me is on vacation too!

I was telling Taylor of the man that is 110 years old and looked at me like I was telling him Dragon were real.

I love warm rain. It is defiantly one of the top 3 best things in life.

I showed Taylor and Cameron the pictures of the roots of the trees growing over the ruins and they are still talking about it.
