Well as most of you know I am not a fan of sitting around and doing nothing. I think that is one reason God put me in Takanosu for the next year. My line of events started on Friday. We went with a couple of classes and some kid to Hirosaki to see the Sakura (Cherry Blossoms). Then Saturday we went and made glass beads which was so much fun not to mention we got to drive by the ocean to get there. Also there was one place on the way back with Sakura so we stopped, they had a kind of mini go cart thing and of course I got everyone into it. It was a beautiful day and a great ride. Saturday evening we went for honey bread with a bunch of friends then for coffee and got home around eleven. Then Sunday I taught sunday school for the junior high girls in Aikawa, it was good but also hard because of the language barrier. And for all of you who ask I am not fluent yet! Then back to our church for service, which after we quickly left because we went with most of the people from church up to Hirosaki once more to see the Sakura, not a big deal for me cause it was totally different from before cause we got to see them at night. Then monday up at the crack of dawn to go to a ladies convention about two hours away. Great speaker, but it gets tiring listening to Japanese and translation. After the convention was over we stopped Kakunodate to see more Sakura, which were all lined up on a ridge over looking a river, once again beautiful. That was my weekend of relaxation! Here are some pictures, if you want more please let me know.
This is a picture of are scenery on the ride to the bead making place.
This is Tomoko and I on the mini go-cart thing.
Here are some Sakura pictures I took many and it was a hard decision to decide which ones to put on my blog!

what great pictures you take! Thanks for keeping us up to date on your activities. It's like reading a good book, only better, I know the main character!
Love You Bye!
I was thinking the same thing. Your pictures are awesome. Maybe that could be another line of work? Start submitting your photos to magazines and papers and see if you get published. (you've already had the paparozzi right!) And you have done some pretty cool things with great "Photo Ops" too!
Miss you, love you,
Take care, learn lots and have fun (BNTMF!)
I know I must sound like a broken record by now, but WOW! I feel like I've said that 2 or 3 million times every time I come and see the pictures. WOW!
