These were taken before we left. Would not have

 happened without Jesse and Jamin and Robin.

It was Ruth's idea. At 9:00 at night at Chik Fil A. 

So I said to Jesse and Jamin, "You think we could pull it off?" 

When they didn't say no (very loudly), I took that as a resounding YES!

So we stayed up until 4:00 in the morning. 

How come stories involving me and Jesse usually involve 4:00 in the morning?

It's Green Arrow.

Just doing our part...

appreciating muslim cuisine

There are a few muslim restaurants in town. Not much pork in those. Lamb and beef. Never had lamb before. Also, I never saw signs like this before...

This one is Jesseesque, worthy to be included in his inimitable gallery. Hold on to your cookies.

You couldn't make this stuff up.

Please come to China. There is so much I want to show you.
