Meeting the Family

No, no, these penguins aren't real. They aren't kissing real penguins. They're pretty awesome though, 'cause as you can see, they're sculptured from solid ice.

Can you believe it, this was the first time I went to a dolphin show, as it was for Deryk. I must have enjoyed it just as much as he did.

And then, if all that wasn't enough, Kenji and Deryk get to go to an aquarium. Wow, this trip sure is fun, and for Deryk, one concern of mine is that he'd be brought back down to earth from this wonderful dream once we're back in Tanba.

Welcome to toyland, and really, it was. What you see in the photo is only one-sixth of its size. You can imagine, this was tons of fun for our two little boys.

Juri took us to a Mexican restaurant, and at first, boy, I tell you, I was in a bad mood, for reasons that I think is better to keep to myself. Ha! I guess one small reason was that I felt out of place. Anyway, as you can see in the photo snipet, Kenj and Deryk had fun, and that's what matters.

We're on the train and are having so much fun! Well I wasn't really fond of the idea of spending two days at Juri's. I don't like places that remind me of my past. But in the end I think it was actually quite fun!! It made me want to go back some time. Andy and Juri were very sweet! I think I like them a lot. I miss them.

This has been a successful trip so far--no screaming, yelling or rebuking from any of Fay's family. The night I arrived in Noda I met Dust, Sunshine, Ryan, and her siblings. A night following we had wine and pasta with the home and Aaron. Later I was able to meet his wife and kids at an area gathering. And just last night we got back from a two-day visit to Juri and her boyfriend's place. That was the last of the family that I came to meet. Oh, and I mustn't forget to include that I also went to MP3 on an invitation to eat Aaron's Indian food. Ohhhh man! His food was excellent! We had Nan in sauces and Tandori Chicken which brought back vivid memories of how good Indian food is.

I think I've warmed up to Fay's family. They're all very smart, talented people--quite talented I'd say! I like them a lot. Rather than me making a long drawn-out explanation of what we did together, I thought that I'd just post some photo's. Like they say, pictures can say a thousand words.
