Hello!  Well, I’ve been home for almost two weeks now, and it’s weird.  Not bad weird, but still kind of weird. I’ll be posting some in-depth reflections soon, but first I figured I’d answer a few of the frequently asked questions about the Race.  Enjoy!

 

Favorite country: Swaziland

Favorite ministry: Sending Hope International in Thailand

Longest flight: Chicago to Dubai – 16 hours

Longest road travel day: Swaziland to Mozambique – 54 hours

Weirdest thing I ate: A cricket.  Honorable mention goes to deep-fried frog legs (both of these were in Cambodia)

What I’m doing next: I’ll be spending the summer as a camp counselor and then… well that’s still a secret because it isn’t official yet 😉
