And we're off!

Kristen and Andrew are here and it's so surreal! We're off to Hiroshima tomorrow for a day, and then I have to split off to go to a JET Recontracting Conference in Kobe. But I'm going to meet back up with them later in the week in Kyoto and finally we'll make our way to Mie-ken to visit Kristen's family. It's been so much fun so far, can't even imagine how much more fun we're going to have.















Welcome to Kumamoto! Andrew enjoying dinner at Joyful.















OMG YOU'RE IN JAPAN!!! Me and Kristen, at Joyful.















$100 Watermelons at Tsuruya Department Store. Whaaazaa??
















Me and Kris with the squinty-eyed Colonel Sanders outside KFC.
















At Kumamoto Castle. (Sorry, still haven't figured out how to rotate pictures on Blogger! Anyone know how to? The tech support has been thoroughly un-helpful).
















The Engrish find of the day, "Poopy Pickers" at Jusco. That is one beautiful canine butthole.
















Taking my car for a spin on the left side of the road.


And tomorrow we're off to Hiroshima. Be back in a week!

P.S. Linds, we miss you!
