Hi Mary,This is a picture of the beach in Penang. It is an island in Malaysia and it takes about four hours to fly here from Hong Kong. We are having a great time. The weather is sunny every day. We go for a swim in the pool in the morning and then have lunch in the hotel restaurant. They serve delicious coconut ice cream there! I want to go to the water park. There are lots of slides. You have to climb up to the top first and then you can go down into the water very fast. Scary, but exciting!! See you next week!Jenny
