Chris has a fancy iPod that takes video and pictures. So we've been stock piling videos of everything from amazing scenery to a creepy spider eating a moth. FYI there are some boring scenic videos out there.
Here is the link to Chris's YouTube page:

My grand addition to the YouTube collection is a video of a GOP nomination rap set to the tune of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air...
What can I say? Sometimes Chris and I just have a little too much time on our hands (and maybe a little bit too much beer in our bellies). Don't worry, we're working on a new song set to "I Like Big Butts".
Oh heyyyyyy. It's been almost a month since I've written a blog post. I'm so sorry if you thought I was in a shark attack while scuba diving, mauled by the Amish, or getting druuuunk on rye whiskey like George Washington. In actuality I was just being lazy (surprise surprise).
So, to recap: I'm alive! I'm back with the blogging! Chris has made me listen to David Bowie's "Major Tom" approximately 121 times in the last few months! And I'm looking forward to blogging again!
But! I'm back! With lots of posts, tons of pictures, and finally with a vlog to answer those questions you asked. You can expect:
- some YouTube linkage with some sahhhweet rapping by yours truly
- stories of failed hikes
- recaps of cooking lessons (with recipes!)
- stories of failed hikes
- recaps of cooking lessons (with recipes!)
- pictures, pictures, pictures!
- travel sucesses and travel lessons
Okay? Forgive my terrible lack of recent posting? No... Oh.
But for the update about our curent location... Chris and I left Indonesia a month ago and have been traveling through Vietnam. We're now in the North of Vietnam in a gorgeous mountain town called Sapa where we have been enjoying some awesome hiking (another blog post for later that I've already written. Huzzah!). And later this week we're headed to the Phillipeans for some beach time and scuba diving!
(Mt. Fansipan-- Sapa-- North Vietnam)

Today's travel lesson: Don't be lazy... just write the damn blog posts!
When you are away from smart phones, regular internet access, and cell phone signal you start coming up with random things that you want to google. Because we always seem to forget when we get before a computer Chris and I have started a running list of "to google":
the mundane:
-Malaria prevention research
A rather boring google about which medicine to buy to renew our stash of malaria meds.
Chris and I have been debating for months if hamsters and gerbils exist in the wild. I said they do and I would like to see a pack of wild feral hamsters taking off down the street; Chris thinks they are some strange hybid of rat and something he failed to name.
But sadly, no Jesus in the sky...
Hey, we've been together constantly for three months... there are only so many things to talk about before you starting discussing wild hamsters.

Winner winner chicken dinner!
I'm right! Hamsters come from Syria while gerbils are from China and Turkmenistan and can grow up to 16 inches long.
the rumors:
Jesus making a cameo in TexasSome random Indonesian chatting us up while we were waiting for a bus told us that he knew all about Texas because he once read an article about how the face of Jesus is visible in the Texas sky.
HUH?
He was insistent that you could see Jesus's face in the sky and couldn't believe that we didn't know what he was talking about.
Granted, he did follow that by asking us if Texas was it's own country...
Out of curiosity, I did some googling and found out that there have been several UFO sitings, a plague of grasshoppers invading Texas in 2000, the largest cross in the western hemisphere with a reproduction of Jesus's tomb, and a lot of websites about the end of the world.
Hey, we've been together constantly for three months... there are only so many things to talk about before you starting discussing wild hamsters.
Add several slices of fruit (inc sour mango, papaya, pineapple, cucumber, and those red things that look like apples but aren't) add freshly made peanut sauce.
Dig in!
