Art, more art, and bowling.

We went to the Yamanashi prefecture Art museum today and saw Millet paintings. It was good! I have to believe that Millet knew his way around a paintbrush. We also went bowling, and in the second game I scored a 144. Not bad for not having rolled a ball for a year or so.

Today was filled with delicious foods, bowling, a big waterfall, a gondola ride to a magnificent view, and Jerry taking the bullet for us all and consuming the required beer and sake at the Rotary meeting. I took baby sips because I was quite done with alcohol after karaoke last night.

I bought a can of Ultraman soda from a vending machine.. it was meh. I also wore my toe socks. They were very comfortable. It felt like I had micro howler monkeys hugging on my tootsies all day. I also found a variety bag of HaiChyuu. HaiChyuu is delicious. It’s basically starburst that holds its form longer and is imbued with magically tangy flavor. If you ever find it, buy some, and you will certainly taste it. If you choose to eat it, that is.

The Ozawa family gave me a parting gift, a fabulous DVD of pictures set to Metallica’s Enter Sandman. I have already watched it, and it is very cool. It shows everything from family dinner to the Karaoke rock out.

Tomorrow we move on to Mishima, and it will be sad. I haven’t got to spend as much time with the Ozawas as I did with the Tanabes, because we had later days. I am still very fond of them however, and I will be keeping in touch.

After today, the blog will once again be mired in uncertainty, since I don:t know if internet access will be available to me. So… stay tuned! But don’t hold your breath. (as you will only have a few minutes until you black out.)

    You are having way too much fun young man. Dr. Yan needs you to log in remotely and fix a computer for him. Yes you read that right. ;^). Cant wait to see all your pictures. Enjoy every moment but try not to scare the people too much with your singing!
