These are from our debreif times before and after China in Hong Kong and on the way home…


Hong Kong Disney
bbq dinner with January and June racers
worship on the roof-Hong Kong
Michelle, me, Tana in the subway


flower market in Hong Kong
despite my year with birds, I went to the bird market- Hong Kong


This is Finding Nemo… I visited the goldfish market where there are tons of little baggies full of fish, hanging on a wall and you just pick one and pay for it. Much easier than trying to pluck one out of a tank with a little net.

The world’s longest esculator-it takes 20 minutes to ride it to the top and then you walk down along the street next to it
We also had Girl’s night as one of our final nights there. As part of my story, (see earlier blog, Why I’m on the World Race) I had been growing out my hair since the whole ordeal started. So, for Girl’s night, I decided to chop it off and lose the weight!!. This was more than just a haircut to me and it was neat (and a great encouragement) to be around my sisters. Special thanks to Candice for giving me a cool new do!!




And finally…coming home!!!


50 people and 11 months worth of stuff!!

Arriving at LAX in Los Angeles…and home in Cleveland, OH!! (Youngest sister, Mary Kate, welcoming me with a t-shirt she made as a prop for her speech about me in her speech class and me with all my stuff!
