Malaysia Day Five

Dear friends and family,

I’ve received an outpouring of encouragement _not_ to drink the
municipal water while traveling and I assure you, I will not take a
drop of Indian tap water as long as I am there. Thanks for the extra reminders.

Today Liz and Caitlin and I went by light-rail, train, bus and foot to
trek up a mountain waterfall. We swam in the cool stream and ate
tropical fruit (store-bought, of course) at the very top, where we saw
frogs and a giant millipede and a small wasp that stung me in the
face. Most people don’t share our enthusiasm for flora and fauna so
I’ll save the details for my journal:)

We have only one full day left! Some of my groupmates are going to
church in the morning. I would just as soon worship Zeus. Instead I
may find a cafe in the area and try to read a little about this
amazing country toward which we are accelerating. India is so close!

Sincerely,
Isaac H.
