Took the train just North of the City to the Batu Caves. The caves took a bit of work to get to (272 steps - although Mo swears the builders miscounted to up their bill because she says there were only 260) but once we were there it was worth all the work as the caves were adorned with gorgeous and ornate Hindu shrines and statues. Aside from the scenic and religious beauty we also got up close and personal with a ton of scavenger monkeys waiting for their handouts of rambutan and coconut in return for a photo (note per Richard: the monkeys will get angry if you repeatedly try and touch them... and certainly don't try and pick one up.)
After that we made our way to our back to the "food court" of China town for a spicy fish soup for lunch (Asam Laksa.) The old Malay man serving it (with his wife doing the cooking) was great conversation and couldn't believe the amount of spice the Americans were putting in the soup. We tried to explain the difference between the South and the North but I'm pretty sure all we did was confuse him into thinking we were Mexican. Close enough.
Adios y vaya con Dios, Amigos.
As a side note, we have been having difficulties with our blogging software because everything is the dumbed down mobile version - Google won't even let us go to the full version - sorry if the pictures are out of whack. For the time being, we believe the pictures are all uploaded to a public album on our G+ profile. Check it out and let us know if you can see them or not.
