Update 2

This past week I took a trip to Turkey. I got to fly in a hot air balloon in a city in southern Turkey called Cappadocia. Here is a picture of the pilot lighting liquid propane to heat the air inside the balloon to make it rise. We left at 5:15am in order to get in the air to see the sun rise. A 1-hour ride will cost about $225.

Here is another shot of the hot air balloon being heated up. It starts laying on its side then turns "upright" as the air inside the balloon heats up and pulls the basket into an upright position.

Here is a picture of me being attacked by a giant ant in Dubai.

Here is the crew that went with me to drink $100 tea at the Burj Al Arab Hotel: Justin, me, Amy, Natalie, Lindsay, Brent, and James. We took this picture, then had afternoon tea from 1pm-3pm for $100! They started us off with champaign, followed by cold cut sandwiches, ice cream, hot sandwhiches, tea or coffee, then dessert.

Here is another picture inside the hotel. This shows jets of water being shot around inside a fountain.
