...mummifying apples...

These are pictures of the apples my students mummified the past few weeks. The first is in salt, the second, epsom salt, and the last one is in baking soda. So which one would you want to use to preserve your body in ancient Egypt?


The coolest thing happened to me on my flight home from Vegas yesterday. I was boarding the plane, and I saw a familiar face! My stewardess was Rachael, the wife of Tommy, the director of Solidarity. What were the chances!? Of all the flights!

I love airports. They always remind me of all the random adventures I'd had in them. Here's a list of some of my random airport adventures:

Scary times in an airport:
1) Flying into Ghuangzhou airport with Aggie. I was SO scared going through customs carrying hidden religious material. After going through customs, we hard the hardest time finding the right terminal to catch our domestic flight.
2) Runnning through SFO with Philip after our flight arrived late and we had to catch our connecting flight. I serious thought I was going to die.

Fun times in an airport:
1) Arriving home from MESP (study abroad in Egypt) with a nose ring. ; )
2) Arriving in St. Paul and trying to find my mom. We were meeting up to fly to a wedding in Canada together. I was walking a stretch of stores in the terminal and here comes mom riding in the the back of one of those golf carts.
3) Oakland airport. I had to find/meet Dora and give her her wallet, which was left in my purse the night before. Unfortunately, shw had a hurt ankle and I was on the other side of the bay with no car. So we had to meet at the airport.
