We had a low key weekend after the meat-fest on Friday night. Saturday Kuniko and I went into town to do a little shopping for our trip. The city of Kobe was having a fireworks show on Saturday evening, and it always completely shuts down the city. They close the streets, and the trains become packed with people trying to get to Kobe, leave Kobe, or just pass through. Our plan was to do our shopping in the morning and get home to sip champagne before dinner time.
The plan went off without a hitch, and we spent the evening watching a rented movie and enjoying barbecued corn and sausages (leftovers from the sausage party on Friday).
Sunday morning Kuniko went off to teach at a study camp for two nights, so I spent the day reading at home, cleaning house a bit, and relaxing. I also watched a rental movie – The Watchmen – which I had always wanted to see but somehow forgotten to check out. I quite enjoyed it.
Now I’m getting ready to go to work. I have to work the next three days, but after that we head to the airport and then off to Korea and Hawaii. Can’t wait!
