Dear Jonny & Deb

I will admit, I stopped breathing for a little while this morning when I read the headline on CNN "Hundreds Dead in China Eartquake"

But before freaking out and sending you 25 emails to ensure your safety, I decided to google a map of your area to find out just how close you are.

Turns out, not very. In case you're wondering, it would take you about 1 day and 13 hours to get to Qinghai Province. Only about 2,790 kilometers.

You would also have to go through 18 toll roads to get there.

Holy Moly.

  1. Yes! We are okay! No worries! We didn't even feel it. And we didn't know about it until this morning when I spoke with my mom. News doesn't travel very well here...
