So we took the long jungle train to paradise- the Perenthian Islands. of the eastern coast of Malaysia...
I allowed the green growth to entrance me and it smears and juts by through my swelling eye ducts paddling through the heavy water building, shapeshifting the scene into my own beautiful watercolor creation.. blurried and magnifyied and steeped in a profound sadness, a mercy cry for support to never forget my mothers , a happiness, an appreciation, a feeling of praise and unworthiness, a promise that I will try hard not to forget them..I finished a good book called "Comfort Woman" which made me feel all this even more... I also lost my grandmother's ring in Malaysia and I guess that is where I may come to visit her as this is now where a piece of her rests...
We left Malaysia's peaceful smiling face of a Muslim country and walked across the border into Thailand making our way up into Krabi town where we would meet our Boston crew, Erin and Zac. I got the surprise of my life, I had to remember to breathe and turn away and hold up tears when Amanda tapped me on the shoulder at the airport and surprised me by not telling me she would make it to Thailand !!
We had been there a couple of days before the Boston crew arrived and checked out the Hat Railay Beach scene. The 4 beach areas off the Gulf of Thailand is so tucked away by massive limestone cliffs rising out of the dark emerald water that you can only reach it by longtail boats driven by little browned Thai men mosquito buzzing your ear in highpitched chants Railay railay! Krabi Krabi! The limestone monster beasts' immense backs rise out of the ocean and drip down in crazy stalactite, stalagmite formations and loom around you as you enter begging and daring you to climb on and try to conquer... this is a rock climber's heaven and we are here no doubt to climb !!...
