Left to Right: Miyuki, me, Isao (holding Ron the dog), Naoki, Fumika
The Kobayashi family, neighbors to the Kanematsu family invited us over to have dinner at their house the last night of my stay in Nagoya. We had corn and tuna on bread, rice with egg, tempura shrimp, and acorn squash spread over bread. Everything was DELICIOUS! Shinobu, the mom, invited her older sister (also named Miyuki) to dinner and she brought Baskin Robbins Ice Cream. I ate ice cream 3 times that day!

Fumika took me to the Port of Nagoya Aquarium. I was able to see Green Sea Turtles and Killer Whales for the first time!


Fumika's LABO group held a welcome party for me! It was exciting, complete with good food, fun games, and many sweet kids.

Couple of boys cutting up in the front of your your LABO photo look like a couple of "goofy" boys I know.
Also, I recognize the fabric map on the wall. Do you? Looks like a Grandmother find. The food at dinner looked yummy!

I really enjoyed the photos of your visit to Nagoya. I spied your name on the whiteboard in the Labo photo. It looks like you had a great time at the neighbor's dinner. I am glad you had a good visit with the Kanematsu family.

Love,
Dad

Your dinner in Nagoya at the neighbor's house actually sounded good to me!

ANOTHER GREAT POST!!
That looked like a real feast. The LABO group looked like a one room school from the good old days.
The aquarium photo will be a great scrapbook page.
