Kanoko, the wife of a retired Marine, Joe, who used to work with Rodney in Pensacola, is a native of Japan and came to visit her friends and family for a month. We got to see her last night, and we all went to what the Americans around here call "The Chicken Shack." In Japanese it is called
Sanzuko. It has a very traditional feel and the food is delicious. Here are some photos from yesterday:
 |
| Belle is 21 months and hadn't ever ridden in a shopping cart she could "drive" before. She loved it! |
 |
| The kids discovered pretty white butterflies and stopped to take a look. |
 |
| Kanoko and I at the house. |
 |
| The boys at The Chicken Shack as samurais |
 |
| The front of the Shack - they are decorated for fall/Halloween. |
 |
| To the left of the photo above... and my car, which is the first one on the left. |

| The boys enjoying their noodles |
 |
| Rodney REALLY enjoying his noodles... these were his favorite. |
 |
| Me trying a "rice bowl" for the first time - a pack of sticky rice stuffed inside a seaweed wrap. It was good. |
 |
| Belle enjoying chicken on a stick. She wanted to do it herself and would not let her Mom feed it to her on a fork. |
 |
| Rodney was excited to see a beer machine. |
 |
| 400 yen later, he got one (this is a $5 can of beer.) |

On a different note, here are photos of Will in his class' garden, and one of his latest writing endeavors, a baseball card:
