frances: yesterday, aly and i had a VERY interesting experience. we decided to go on a bike ride around showa without actually knowing our way around showa. Within about 10 minutes we were very lost. We biked around for nearly 2 hours before we started to panic about never finding our host family. Then an old lady on a moped drove by and luckily she was Kathy and Lauren's host mom. We followed her back to their house and they walked us home in time for dinner. We are having a lot of fun!
kathryn: well we are off to make japanese dolls. it should be really fun. then we are going to eat ramen for lunch. i cannot wait. my host family fed me a huge breakfast. every meal they fill the table with a lot of food it is amazing. tonight lauren and i are doing pachinko. (japanese gambling!) :) now we are going to visit Showa high school.
