Day 3 begins

let`s see. where was i? did i tell you i was in Japan again? did i tell you about surprising Noriko`s Father at the hospital on saturday? did i tell you about the Inagawa Hanabi Taikai (fireworks festival at Inagawa) on saturday? did i mention Ricky singing Beatles songs at the Minoo Tackey FM radio live broadcast? i think i mentioned doing some work in the garden yesterday morning before lunch at Kenta (Kentucky Fried Chicken) before Ricky. i am sure i mentioned walking to one of my favorite places along the trail to the Minoo Waterfall and having my favorite snack and hoping to see a monkey or two. no monkeys but many cute dogs being walked along the forest trail. and it goes without saying i have eaten more delicious food in the last three days then in the last three months . . . since my last visit to the Maekawa Home. later i hope to add some photos from the last few days but first time for a shower and breakfast. and yes, it is very very warm here. i don`t want to call it hot as that would make it seem . . . hotter.
