Our first sushi experience



That was such a cool experience! Yesterday we were in a typical sushi bar.
We sit around the sushi bar and there is a track rolling around with little plates on it and as it goes we just help ourselves and take whatever we want. If we miss it, it's ok, it will come back within 30 secs. Then we keep our plates and pile them up so that they know how much we ate and how much we owe. It was great and the sushi were so fine and delicious.
Rebecca, we just want you to know that Joel ate everything that was offered to him by the GSE chairman Nobuhiro Sato. You said he doesn't like fish! Well a few times, he was chewing on the pieces of sushi like he was chewing on his own tongue but he did eat raw fish, you can be proud of him.

Wow and congratulations! That is an astounding amount of plates! The real question is: How many Power bars did Joel eat?

Tucson looked and sounded like a rainy day, but I did not see any moisture. How about you? (Mike, your umbrella is at the bottom of your backpack along with a rain jacket.)

Mike, Are you using your video camera?

Patti--Some of the plates were Joel's. He actually ate some fish at the sushi bar. We're having fun and everyone feels good. We get picked up soon by host families. We visit the mayor and two newspapers tomorrow. Yes, I'm learning how to use my new video camera. They are laughing at my camera with film though. More later. Mike
