I've realized recently that I don't share nearly enough of the crazy, funny, ridiculous, absurd, "is this real life?" moments of this thing we called the World Race with you, our supporters. So here are a few of the best lines from this month thus far (:
"Our checked bags can only weigh 10 kg and our carry-ons 7. We can have unlimited checked bags and one carry-on; time to get creative."
"STOP THE VAN! The hatch fell open!"
(10 minutes later) "STOP THE VAN!! The hatch is open and we lost a bag!!"
"Jesus, please protect our friends from giant cave dwelling spiders."
"It smells like diapers full of Indian food in here."
"Deep breath…deep breath…you can do this…1…2…3!" (First rinse of a cold bucket shower)
"19 people in a 12 person van? Well this is safe."
"Isaac and I aren't allowed to be in the (basketball) game at the same time because we're too tall."
"The Reese's are over there in the Imported section. They're under a glass case."
"Is that a moth or a butterfly?! It's as big as my fist."
"This is the only time I have internet this week and everyone I know is asleep because we're 13 hours ahead of the east coast."
"Lord, please let it stop raining long enough for our clothes to dry so they'll stop smelling like mildew."
"Guys, the puppies are eating our poop trash."
"Y'all, we can actually READ these menus! But I still don't know what anything is so I'm gonna go look at the pictures."
"Remember what it was like to have dryers that could shrink our clothes back to normal size when they got stretched out?" "Ehhh, maybe it's better this way. SO many carbs…"
"I'll never look at a dishwasher the same again after I get home."
"Dear God, please bless this food to our bodies, suck out the calories, and if there's anything in there that's gonna hurt me, kill it."
"Big D today?" "Yepp. You?" "Yepp. Almost didn't make it this time."
"Hey guys! I'm using my amoeba for ministry!"
"That sleeping pill you gave me last night was INTENSE. I almost peed my bed."
"I know this shirt smells, but all my other clothes smell worse so this will have to do."
"Jesus, please make Angela stop itching. Amen."
"I'm goin to burn the trash y'all. If I don't make it back it's because I died from the fumes."
"Every time my pants are off the moths come out!"
"Does anyone else remember the days when you got out of the shower and there WEREN'T 8 other people in your room?"
GET EXCITED FUTURE RACERS!! This is just a little bit of the madness you have to look forward to!
