Katie & Matt Knott in Malaysia!

Katie & her brother Matt Knott are enjoying a vacation in Malaysia. They climbed Mt Kinabalu (13, 500 feet) which is the highest mountain in Southeast Asia. It was a two day climb. They bedded down in a bunk house overnight at 11,000 ft and left at 2:45 am the next morning to get a look at the sun rising from the top of the mountain. Matt is there until February 12th and Katie is there until February 15th at which time she makes her way back to Iraq to finish up her last 6 months!!
