A kimono


E said on Sunday she was going to see a play in her host mother's hometown. On the way back home, they took her to a kimono shop. Here she is sitting pretty and one with her host sister.

Today's update is short and not written by sensei, but by another of the chaperones. It's definitely missing the humor element:

Today is Sunday and we are all spending the day getting to know our host families better. After the weekend, there will be more stories to tell. Tomorrow is a school holiday and we will take a field trip to pick tea. Such a wonderful opportunity. We have heard that it is famous tea because it is the furthest north that tea can grow in Japan.


Back at home, we took L to her church camp. She'll be there until Saturday. B's friends left about 11 a.m. after raiding the leftover pizza and brownies and having pancakes for breakfast. Here's L at the camp. She's a little disappointed that the creek is so high and its current is so fast. She's afraid they won't be able to do a creek walk.
