Penang with Tim and Shauna

As mentioned the other day, we're in Penang with Tim and Shauna Archer (Pam's brother and sister-in-law). Fabulous hosts. We've greatly enjoyed the outings and sites they've taken us on. At the moment, Pam, Shauna, Annie (our niece) and some other ladies from Dalat are out 'Batik'ing'. Making Batik which if I understand it right is decorating silk in such a manner that the colors are just as prominent on the inside of the garment as they are on the outside....can't really tell which side is which. Beautiful weather today. Sunny, upper 80's, and some humidity. Beats back home though. : )

A view off the balcony of our hotel room. The 4 tall buildings are condos.....1 per floor. 6,000 sq ft for approx $600k U.S.
Tim and Shauna's home on the campus of Dalat.
Tim and a beached jellyfish. These are why you really don't swim much off these shores.
Fishing boats and a Mosque.
