On our final day in China we stopped with Jiao for our last meal. This is what we had.

Coming to you LIVE from the ferry terminal. An as it happens blog post with bonus video. We are in our 9th hour of waiting for a ferry that apparently arrived today. For a the full story read on… I found out that the ferry had arrived after wandering in to the ticket agents office [...]

This video was taken just a few days before we left China as we traveled around a beautiful mountain lake.

Katie and I have tried to keep up a daily (most days anyway) routine of push-ups to help keep our backs strong after a day of being hunched over our handle bars. That includes finishing late at night in a desert.

Naan has become a staple food for us since we have entered the XinJiang province and the way they bake it is very cool.

Desert camping seems like a fun and carefree idea, until you consider the local wildlife. On Tuesday afternoon, after one of our rest stops, I spotted a massive spider nestling on the back of Jared’s rear pannier. It was about the size of an open fist, legs included, and a bright mix of white and [...]

The 10 days from Xi’an have been pretty much an uphill slog, but wevery so often we have been graced with a little downhill and some beautiful scenery.
