Sorry, I was so overwhelmed and pumped from the Sayonara party that I forgot to report on the days activities. Allie and I began the day at the Matsuyama hospital with Chris. Dont worry, he is fine!!! He had a fever and his family was quite worried. He tested out just fine, however the Dr was quite impressed with his honkin tonsils.
We then joined the group in the art of making soba noodles. Allie was quite a pro and cant wait to make them at home. The kids made the noodles from scratch and then learned the proper way to cook them. We then made mochi. I do love mochi! It does not have eyes! We then dined on a great lunch featuring our own noodles and mochi. We were treated to the soba teachers ice cream (it was to delicious).
We could see the kids beginning to fade so we rested a bit and then went up to the San San (where Allie and I have been staying) and participated in a woodcraft activity. We made either dinosours or wreaths with materials found locally in Matsuyama. It was a fun time and even the adults joined in. The children were all very proud of their art work. We ended the day early so to rest up for the Sayonara party.
Today on to Tokyo.

A message from Matsuyama - we saw everyone off early this morning at the train station. Chris said he was feeling much better.
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone has a great time in Tokyo and a safe trip home. I really enjoyed meeting you all and will try and wangle my way onto the next trip to Cape Cod (in someone's luggage if need be).
Cheers,
