On our way to Taiwan, we had a long layover at LAX. We were hanging out at our gate about an hour before boarding when a random guy approached us and asked us if we would do something. He had a stuffed raccoon named Columbus that he wanted us to take to Taiwan. Columbus is supposed to be passed around from traveler to traveler in hopes of sending him to countries all over the world. I have to admit, my first thought was, "That raccoon is either full of drugs or it's actually a bomb. There is no way I'm taking it anywhere!" After giving it some more thought, we decided he probably wouldn't have made it through security if either of the above were true. So, we took our chances and agreed to take Columbus to Taiwan. We are supposed to send a letter and this picture to the class in Germany that originally sent Columbus on his journey. They will respond to us once they get our letter, kinda cool! A friend that volunteers for His Hands is headed to Thailand in a few weeks so we gave Columbus to her so she can pass him on and see where he ends up next!
