I keep this blog for friends, family and students in Japan& the U.S.

Since Spring '07, Zen and Taka moved to California full time for Zen's basketball career. I'm in California most of the time right now too. Almost every day I go to help my Grandmom. She was born in 1919. Taka and I also get to work for Uncle Lynn's landscaping company. Santa Cruz, California. As beautiful as ever. However I still feel homesick for Japan~~

SENBEI and Students and SENTO!!!

We went for lunch (yes, more great food) but perhaps even better than the food was the public bath. Here you can see me and my three older kids, all fresh from the baths~ honestly, there's nothing like Japanese baths...that I know of anyway!
Taka got to taking a massage in this massage chair after his bath.

Below, we went to a buy some rice crackers from a cute shop making them.

IIKA!!! I mean いいいか?! ha ha, it's fun to mess with the Japanese language sometimes, and my speaking ability makes me ignorant enough to mess around with words like this! Squid = IKA...but saying "it's OK?" is: I-I-KA? pronounced ""eeee-ka"?
Okay, anyway, this shop is a squid cracker shop~ that's what's started all of this rambling!
sorry, I couldn't get a good photo of the stovetop they make the crackers on~ visible through this window:

Some cute kids following orders in their school caps ~ reminding me what country I'm in!!!
