One year and one month later... where do I begin? I will begin with today. this morning I headed into the downtown area, and watched with delight people setting up for the festival in town today. Last night I saw them take everything down, all the merchandize packed up into vehicles, all the booths torn down, and all the decoratins hanging about the streets are also down for the night. I was surprised to see that. And then this morning at 10:00 everyone is back putting everything up and out for display. It was fun to walk around and be able to greet some people that I have met throughout my time in Iwaki.
My English class ended with a birthday cake for me! And my husband bought me a very nice pair of sandals for my birthday. He actually bought one pair, but they were just a teeny bit too small (which I didn't notice) so he brought them back and exchanged them for the pair that he originally wanted to buy for me. They are great! I love them! I appreciate the effort he put into buying them for me.
This weekend I am off to Funehiki for a little R & R. Good times with good people.
