Farah is back in Japan and in the last week alone has managed to travel to Hakone, Nagoya, Hiroshima, back to Nagoya for some more, and then swing back to our home away from home, Kasukabe.  And fortunately I got to accompany her on the last leg of the trip over the weekend–she can’t have all the fun–and spend time with our friends: Mizuha, Asako, and her husband, Takeshi.  It was an incredibly long way to go in a very short amount of time, especially for Farah, but it was so worth it.  This past weekend was one of the best we have had in a very long time. We are so appreciative of Asako and Takeshi for allowing us to stay with them and then for taking us to so many places, for the exquisite meals, and for being such wonderful friends & hosts!  And you, too, Mizuha!! :) Thank you so much!!!!!

And as soon as you thought that things couldn’t get any busier, let’s think again because tomorrow Sharon and Steven (Farah’s sister and her husband) are arriving in Japan for a one-week stay! Farah’s week-long vacation in Taiwan has somehow stretched itself into a one-week visit home, a week of travel in Japan, and then a week of fun with Sharon and Steven!  Too much fun.  We’re really excited to see S&S tomorrow and spend some good time with them all week long.  I’m thinking that we’ll both go missing in action again until at least they go back home, so I do apologize to all of you who have been neglected.  We will be in touch again soon!!
