Cameron Highlands

The Malaysian adventure continued with a two day journey to Cameron Highlands.  Translated in Texan, Cameron Highlands would be the hill country but much greener.  The pace in Cameron Highlands was nice and slow.  Many native people wait for cars to pass by their roadside stands and purchase goods.  Others gather insects or plants from the rainforest to sell to collectors.  They live in simple homes, children run around barefoot, and they wear big smiles.  It is easy to make a fast judgment and feel the people live in poverty, but they are happy.  Proof that you don’t need video games, i-phones, and satellite dishes to be happy. 

  
Our quest included:
1. Discovering waterfalls. 


2. Taking in a tea plantation.  

3. Eating strawberries.  I excelled in this category.
 

 
 
4. Meeting new friends
 
 
5. Visiting Buddha
 

6. Cruising the rainforest in style
 
Have a great week.  We are thinking about you all lots.
