Wednesday night after work I met up with Kuniko at Hoden station and then walked over to her parents’ house to meet up. They invited us over for dinner, and I was really surprised to see giant bowls of pasta salad waiting to be eaten. This was a serious amount of pasta. It was also a rare night when Kuniko could drink alcohol – usually she drives us there.<\/p>\n
They had a few questions about what to expect on the upcoming trip, so we talked with them about that over dinner and beer and sake. I think they were reassured. They also sent us back with lots of veggies and fruit to try and eat before we leave for Hawaii. I think we’ll give some to Nozaki sensei to help spread things out.<\/p>\n
Kuniko’s dad drove us back to Hoden station, and then we caught a train from there back to Okubo and had an easy walk home. It really isn’t that far by train to their place – and as long as you aren’t walking from the station in the daytime heat it isn’t that tough. <\/p>\n
The trip to Hawaii is coming up fast. Kuniko (as usual) has lots of school-related events leading right up to the day we leave. I won’t see much of her until the trip, but it should give me plenty of time to study and pack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
