By the time we reached KL, we felt like Horton, when he'd picked through the millionth clover, "more dead than alive". We hadn't slept in days and weren't ready to be back in the humidity after enjoying cooler temperatures in Cameron Highlands. We usually pound the pavement and walk through as much of a new city as we can. This time we opted for the hop-on/hop-off bus tour. We rode to the city center.
We wandered aimlessly, yet contentedly, around for a while and made our way back to the bus. We enjoyed the architecture of several of the mosques and government buildings.
We got very few photos, but this was my favorite of the trip. I was trying to take a photo of the "Selamat Datang", which means welcome. I didn't realize until afterwards that I was catching Ben in the act of wearing an illegal ball cap (see the sign?). I'm glad we didn't have to find out the penalty!
The needle obsevatory tower.
In the distance we finally caught a good view of our destination--the Petronas Towers. It was temporarily the tallest building(s) in the world--a symbol of the oil money in Malaysia.
The Petronas Towers are beautifully designed and just enormous. It's cliche, but these pictures simply don't do them justice.
Papa Ben, the pack mule! This is his secret to staying fit!
He's like a fine wine/cheese and just gets better with age. Happy 10th anniversary to us!
I love the 7/11 photo too! Such a cute one with

Lizzie's head covering is very appropriate for KL...it reminds me of a hijab. I love that photo too.
Wow super photos of the Petronas Towers...you really get an appreciation for scope of height and amazing construction design. To top it off with the 7-11 sign is hilarious...what a lucky, wonderful shot....gosh if Ben had been put in the penal system you wouldn't be in Utah...smile.
