A great visit from Carol!

Carol and I had a great 9 days! Here are a few pictures of our adventures. Here is Mt. Fuji on our way out to Yamanashi. Carol was brave and hung out at the Starbucks to people watch and read a book while I had my Japanese lesson. We also had fun looking through the dishes we had in the storage--lots of potential souveniers for upcoming visitors!

We had a great lunch at Mos Burger--the rice patty buns and the shrimp burger!

One day we were shopping and got a good chuckle out of this funny English. (Often Japanese get their Ls and Rs mixed up! There is a "Flesh Foods" Store down the street from us!)

We went to Kawaguchiko area and enjoyed this flower exhibition.

Many people had been telling me how great the Japanese fireworks were. They were right!
