Penang, Malaysia

We arrived at Peanag on Friday, July 3rd. On saturday we took a tour around the island and saw many of the back roads and villages. Along the coast is more resort like. Today we are taking a boat tour of the national park seashore and getting out to enjoy the beaches. More pics to come later. Happy 4th of July!!!
