WOW!

...describes everything so far! WOW the kids (and adults!) were awesome travelers although Tula must have looked suspicious going through SFO security! WOW our first hello with old and new friends in Yamauchi was so exciting and filled with smiles and hugs. WOW we figured out how to shower and eat and bow and put slippers on and off and on and off. WOW communication is a challenge but we seem to figure it out eventually. WOW everyone is happy and healthy and enjoying the many moments, even when feeling like noon is the middle of the night or school lunch has new and unusual components!

WOW!
