Busy Weekend

This weekend was very tiring, but one of the most fun weekends we've had here in Japan. It started Saturday with a trip to our friend Akiko's hometown....which also happens to be an island. We left in the morning and took the train as far as we could, but then went the rest of the way courtesy of Akiko's father, who picked us up in his boat. After an amazing lunch at their home, it was off for a day of fishing in the Inland Seto Sea. We had a great time, and caught a lot of fish....Vicky caught the most! One of the pictures above is Vicky with one of her many fish. The day was great, and one of the best experiences in Japan so far. Eventually we made it home to Kure Saturday night.
But the weekend wasn't over there...bright and early Sunday morning we left with about 40 kids under the age of 12 to go to a town close to Kure for their English school's sports day. Although we don't teach at their school, we were invited by a teacher who does teach there. The day consisted of games, food, and as much craziness as you can possibly imagine. The picture above is of as many of the students as we could round up, along with some of their teachers and us.
Its now Sunday night here, and we are exhausted. School will come early in the morning!!
Wishing you could all be here!!!
