After I told the students I was engaged the girls got really interested and drew this on the board after lunch.
They also wrote my name in Katakana. It is pronounced like "Po - ru" And that has been my name for the past year.
My tiny town of Kazusa is so beautiful. There is a moist lump forming in my throat right now as I realize I'll be leaving in a few weeks. I took these next couple of pictures a month or two after I got here. I drove up the mountain and stood in between a cabbage patch and a field of potatoes and watched the sunset.
The wall in front of my school has this tag on it. I thought I had already posted this, but I can't find it on the blog now. If there was a rock nearby, this would be incredible. Instead it's in a parking lot.
At the Seaside park, which I've posted about before there is this little monkey.
Also a shot of the Seaside park. The Sakura were absolutely beautiful. I sent this to my mother for Mother's Day. I think she would really get into 'Hanami' (花見) or 'Cherry Blossom Viewing'.
What a year.

Absolutely beautiful! i loove the chalkboard drawing! Precious! Little girls can be so creative and cute. I love seeing your name written like that--it's really neat. Can you tell me what my name is in japanese characters? so cool.
Love you
