Hello again! I have finally gotten the chance to sit down at the local cafe to write up a post. I was too busy yesterday, but I'll try to get more consistent with my postings. First I just wanted to let you know that my Japanese class is going well. It's pretty simple. I got into the first level class, which is what I wanted. I needed review like crazy. And it's helping me remember the Japanese I've already learned, which has helped with communication with my host family.
I haven't really done much so far. The first weekend I was with my host family, we went to a park called Takino Suzuran Hillside National Park. Evidentially it's home to flying squirrels, though I didn't see any. :( I did, however, see two separate waterfalls and took some fabulous pictures!
This moth was about the size of my fist. It was huge! There were about three or four of them just hanging out on a vending machine. I thought they were fascinating but my host mother and sister would not go anywhere near the machine.
For more pictures, check out my flickr page.

These pictures are absolutely amazing! Everything is so green! I can't wait to see more! What a treat you are giving us! :) If you look closely, there is an interesting character in one of the pictures...could that be a flying squirrel? Send us a picture of your host family. Glad things are going great. I'm heading to bed - I started swimming last night so I'm a wee bit tired!
Love you lots & lots!
Mom
