Kris's "Vacation"

Poor Kris, came all the way over to Japan for a relaxing vacation, and I make her work! In this picture, she is helping me prepare a game for one of my schools. Yes, she has gone to a school with me, helped me teach an adult class at the international center, and today, we helped the city welcome a high school Jazz Band from Cerritos (the educational sister-city in California). But I think she's still having fun. It's actually facets of Japan that most tourists don't get to see. Tomorrow we will go to Takayama- which we hear is absolutely beautiful right now with the changing colors- for a true vacation.
