This is a picture of three of us and our Japanese friends eating after a get together at the Mutsu City Gym. We played with sparklers and had a dessert. At the gym I played basketball. I enjoyd getting to know all of the people at the gym. I'm glad that we had this after the festival. It helped me to get to know the Japanese people.

This picture was taken when we were sightseeing. The bus behind us is the bus we rode in. Sightseeing was fun. We went to Osorezan, the science museum, and the light house. We played fun games in the bus. I enjoyed this time with the Japanese students.

This is my favorite picture. My family let me were a kimono. They are not as comfortable as they look. Kim and Tracie also got to wear one. This is at the good-by dinner. This was one of the sadest times for me. It was our last night in Mutsu.
