Photos of recent(ish) goings on

A little turtle in a lake at a park about 2 miles off. He seemed very interested in us but didn't want to get too close. We suspect people sometimes feed them. Not long after, another one showed up too. Very cute.




Dinner with the Tachibana elementary school teachers. This was the first weekend I was here, I think.




Yoshinogari. See Maurice's blog post from 10/2 for more details if I haven't already told you about the trip.

















Maurice making moves on the queen. Where was the King you ask? Good question. Can't say for sure, but he'd better hurry back, judging by the way she's eyeballing him...













Aaaaand for some reason I can't put any more pictures on this thing. I'll just put the rest in another entry.
Yoshinogari to be continued!!
