Love the hat
Hi Brian!!! Happy Belated Birthday! Sorry I missed it by about a month- I am a terrible friend, I know! Work has been crazy and I've just now caught up on the last 2 entries. The women with the brass rings are hard core. It hurts just looking at them. Had a frozen strawberry banana daquiri for ya in Vegas. Actually won some $ too. Can't wait to see what China has in store for you. I wish I could quit my job too :(

Hey there, Tell Alan I love the hair. I am learning more history now than I did in school. It's almost a year you're away, can you believe it? I hope you get to continue your journeys for as long as you wanted to, but yet come back soon. Oh and please don't eat goat penis.......
