Dinner last night was great – the lasagne turned out to be excellent. We split a couple of bottles of wine and watched a movie afterwards, to celebrate the purchase of Melanie’s new DVD\/VCR player. <\/p>\n
A bunch of random little notes today:<\/p>\n
The weekend is coming up, and it’s looking like a good one. There are a couple of things going on, but the one “for sure” thing is that I’m going to Kyoto with Mr. Komuri, Mr. Hayashi, and Miss Kageyama. Mr. Komuri knows an out-of-the-way temple north of Kyoto, and we’re going to go there and see what it’s like. I’m really looking forward to seeing Kyoto – it has been high on my list of places to visit in Japan.<\/p>\n
My folks sent a big package of stuff for my birthday, and it arrived last night. There were about 50 corn tortillas, pinto beans, some DVDs of movies I’ve been dying to see, and some taco seasoning and ranch dressing mix. Lots of cool stuff – it feels like home around here with so much mexican stuff.<\/p>\n
Speaking of Mexican food, tomorrow we’re going to cook tacos during our ESS club meeting. All of the girls are excited. I heard that there are two more girls that are interested in joining, so that would be really cool!<\/p>\n
The sky in Japan seems to be so much more dramatic to what I’m used to in California. The sunsets in particular are very dramatic, and the strong winds seem to toss around the clouds in very unusual patterns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
