Pictures from our honeymoon- Indonesia and Malaysia

After spending a couple weeks in Indonesia for our honeymoon, we traveled back up to Laos through Malaysia and Thailand. In northern Malaysia, we stopped at a small group of islands off the coast for a few days, called the Perhentian Islands. The water here was some of the clearest we've ever seen and excellent for snorkeling.

 

these pictures show a couple of young men climbing our palm trees to get coconuts. Very impressive.

Beginning our blog

Welcome to our blog! We decided that since we live on the other side of the world, this might be the best way to share our lives with everyone at home... and a great way to share pictures too. To begin, i've posted a series of pictures from travel in Laos, taken in the spring of last year. Sometime after this trip (our stories differ), we began dating. And sometime after that, we got engaged, and five months later we were married. Wedding pictures to come!
