Day 1 seemed to fly by in a bit of a fog at times. Waves of jet lag seemed to come and go as the day went by. Kim arranged for 3 of her students to make lunch for us and let us try on summer Kimonos. It was very fun and delicious. Then after a strong americano we made shabu shabu for dinner with some other students. I am sure I ate way more than was healthy for me.
Lorrie has been a trooper with all the strange food and languages. She is attempting to learn a few phrases and tries at least some of everything.
I am amazed at how quickly my Japanese has returned. Really, I thought it would be way more difficult to remember. But I am loving speaking and listening to the familiar sounds.
So far the worst part of the trip has been that I have a cold. But I have lived through many of those and it is only a bummer that I have to mess with it while traveling.
Tomorrow we are going to my 'home town' for church and seeing old friends and students. It will be a long and people-filled day. I just hope I have the energy and stamina to make it through.
I am off to take some cold medicine and crawl into bed.
Blessings to all...

Have I mentioned how excited I am for you?! Glad to hear everything is coming back for you, what a blessing! Hope your Sunday was a joy! Is this the church where we heard the concert choir sing and I got the CD (do you know what I am talking about here?)?
