SUNDAY NIGHT
WELL, AS USUAL, I AM DOING THINGS BACKWARDS. I SHOULD HAVE ENDED MY SUNDAY WITH THIS POST, BUT I GOT MESSED UP. THERE ARE MANY, MANY NEW THINGS ON THIS BLOG TODAY, SO MAKE SURE YOU SEE EVERYTHING!! SUNDAY NIGHT WAS FANTASTIC! AFTER WE ALL SAID GOOD BYE TO OUR HOST FAMILIES, WE GOT ON THE BUS AND WERE TAKEN TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HOTEL I HAVE EVER SEEN. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT WE WERE STAYING THERE. WE HAD TO SLEEP 3 IN A ROOM AND ON THE FLOOR, AGAIN!!! THE BEDMATS WERE MUCH THICKER THAN LAST NIGHT'S AND THERE WAS A FLUFFY, THICK BLANKET. IT WAS AWESOME. AFTER A QUICK SWIM IN THEIR POOL WE PUT ON KIMONA ROBES THAT WERE IN OUR ROOMS AND HAD A SPECIAL DINNER, ON THE FLOOR!! HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF US AT DINNER AND THE FOOD WE ATE. THE FOOD WAS BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT, BUT I DIDN'T EAT MUCH OF IT. I'M SUCH A BABY!! IT WAS A VERY FUN NIGHT AND THE TEACHERS WERE ACTING VERY SILLY!!!
SUNDAY WITH MY HOST FAMILY
O-HI-O, 201!!!
JUST THINK, IN TWO DAYS I WILL BE HOME, BACK IN THE USA!! YOU WILL SEE ME FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING!! GET READY FOR AN EXCITING DAY! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE EVERYBODY!!
THE PICTURES I PUT UP TONIGHT ARE ABOUT SUNDAY WITH MY HOST FAMILY. FIRST I WOKE UP TO THE MOST INCREDIBLE BREAKFAST I HAVE EVER HAD. THERE WAS SO MUCH FOOD THAT I DID NOT WANT TO EAT THE REST OF THE DAY!! BUT, I DID, OF COURSE! AFTER BREAKFAST WE WENT TO AN OKINAWAN FESTIVAL. LOTS OF PEOPLE SELLING FOODS, CLOWNS WALKING AROUND, BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS, GAMES FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY AND FUN THINGS TO SEE AND DO. I LOVED IT! NEXT WE WENT TO A SPECIAL PLACE CALLED PEACE MEMORIAL PARK. MANY, MANY YEARS AGO, JAPAN WAS INVOLVED IN WORLD WAR 2 AND THERE WAS A TERRIBLE BATTLE RIGHT IN OKINAWA. THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE WERE KILLED. WE ALL KNOW THAT WAR IS BAD. THIS PARK IS TO REMEMBER THE PEOPLE WHO DIED AND THOSE WHO SURVIVED. I THINK IT WAS ONE OF THE PRETTIEST PLACES I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. IT MADE ME SAD TO READ ALL ABOUT THAT BATTLE IN THE MUSEUM AT THE PARK.
WHEN WE WERE DONE THE PARK WE STOPPED AT KFC FOR FRIED CHICKEN. WE WERE LAUGHING AND LAUGHING AS WE ATE IT IN THE CAR. NEXT WE HAD TO GO BACK TO CITY HALL AS IT WAS TIME TO SAY GOOD BYE AND I HAD TO MEET ALL THE TEACHERS. WHEN I HUGGED THE MOM AND THE GIRLS GOOD BYE, WE ALL STARTED TO CRY. EVEN THOUGH WE HAD ONLY KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR 2 DAYS, IT WAS A VERY SPECIAL TWO DAYS. I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL EVER SEE THEM AGAIN, BUT THANK GOODNESS WE HAVE THE INTERNET!!! IT WAS SUCH A SPECIAL WEEKEND FOR ME AND I LEARNED SO MANY MORE THINGS ABOUT FAMILY LIFE IN JAPAN!!
