Jeff and Chesa and the Air Ambulance

 

This was the air ambulance we used to evacuate Jean from Kunming, China to Albuquerque, NM.

A new day dawns in Petropavlovsk, Siberia, Russia.

Here's the Russian airport I mentioned briefly in my posting on my other bloger, Fun Facts for wHeNeVeR, The Gods Must be CRAZY. 

Jen's Appendix II

 

See Jay. See Jay boss Jen. See Jay hold Jen's appendix in a ziplock bag. 

Jen's Appendix

 

So, this is a kinda old picture that I'm just getting around to posting, but I thought it was interesting and I'd share it anyway. This is a picture of Jen G's appendix as held by Jen C. There is a whole long story that goes with it, but the short version is: Jen G. has appendicids. It moves to the other side of her abdominal cavity and it bursts. The Chinese doctors finally figure it out and send her into surgery. They bring us (her friends waiting for her) her appendix. Months of recovery including a serious allergic reaction that almost killed her. Oh China. 

DDR Rules!

 

Well, and if I'm not playing taiko drum games, then you know that I'm playing Dance Dance Revolution (or the Chinese version, EZ Dance) with my good friend Jen. 

Taiko Drumming

 

This is me having way too much fun at the video arcade my last night in Kunming. Many of you know that I LOVE playing the taiko drum game, and so here is a pic of me doing exactly that. I miss it already!
