Scenes from Japan










I thought some of you would enjoy these pictures that I took today when I went to teach today. These are some pictures from a true Japanese neighborhood. You'll notice there are not any yards, but they still take pride in maintaining small gardens wherever they can find space. The pictures of the white home with the car in the driveway is the house where I teach every Wednesday. I am really enjoying it and learning so much along the way- in fact, I probably am learning more than they are! :)
Also, I included a pic of all us us at the Kinnick High School graduation last week. Our sweet and awesome babysitter graduated, so we wanted to share in the celebration. We are really going to miss Deborah when she leaves this week for the states. She will being going to college in Oklahoma and studying elementary education. She'll do great, and we wish her all the best!!

Thanks for sharing these, Amy. I appreciate seeing what a true Japanese town looks like. It almost reminds me of Greece with the hills, white buildings and the tiny gardens everywhere. That was one of my favorite things about Greece -- everyone had a small yard but grew fruits, veggies and beautiful flowers. Amber
