Summer Vacation

Schools out and that means it's summer vacation!

The thing I'm looking forward to most this summer is spending time with friends.

Last week my friend Grace came for a week to visit.
She was a huge help during the last crazy and exciting days at school. I put her to work lifting lots of moving boxes at school before we enjoyed some potlucks, visited a church and went to Osaka for an adventure with fish.
I have more photos than I have time to post but here are a couple.Checking out Cookie's vertical Eating Hawaiian Hamburgers in Osaka

Adventures with the underwater world
More food! Can't leave Kansai without eating Okonomiyaki!

Today, my friends Mihwa and Boeun-chan are arriving from Tokyo. And tomorrow my former Japanese teacher Watanabe sensei is coming. It'll be a weekend of fun, communicating all in Japanese. We're hoping to meet up with our friend Andrea in Kyoto tomorrow too.

Thanking God for time during summer vacation to enjoy the gift of friendship!
And a home big enough to host them!

wow, how funny that you just saw singing in the rain for the first time! Yeah, I forget how I found your blog, probably through another expat. I grew up overseas in Indo, as you probably noted from my blog, and I love following the journeys of others that are headed over there!
