We Love Japan


Another AMAZING day in Japan! I have to say that the people of Japan are very hospitable! They have treated us with the highest respect and care.  I might go in to withdrawal when I get back to the states, so friends, family and co-workers you are going to have a lot of work trying to maintain this level of treatment;-)  Today I took a quick trip down memory lane when we visited the Toy Museum.  I fell in love immediately when I walked in and right before my eyes stood a larger than life Transformer.  This is one of those toys that I could not get enough of!



Next we were off to give our second club meeting, which went off without a hitch. Go team!

Our last occupational visit for the day was at a hospital.  This hospital will always hold a special place in Kelly's heart.
 

As well as Katie and I, with our new addition! Any suggestions for a name?




The best part of the day for me happened not more than an hour ago. Several Rotary officials and my host family had a traditional Japanese dinner in my honor. Once again a dinner of firsts Octopus, Red snapper, Fish paste, Udon noodles with raw egg, and Japanese sweet plum.  One of my most interesting meals yet.

I have to say that my host family has went above and beyond to make me feel as comfortable as possible. They deserve a big ARIGATO (Thank You).
