Jake the Snake

Jake one of 19 grandchildren on my moms side has lived a pretty awesome life so far.  After graduating from Brown he learned how to speak chinese and went to live in China.  While he was in Bejing, and during my freshman year in high school I took two weeks off from school to visit him.  While in China I hiked part of the Great Wall, went to many temples and gardens, and ate incredible meals for less than two dollars per person.  Traveling to a third world country is an amazing experience that I will never forget.  Once Jake returned from China he began work on the carrot project and blogging.  He writes on two blogs about his life and his work.  They are interesting and meaningful and I look forward to having  an interesting and meaningful blog of my own, this is it.
