Lunch at Levis was a nice break from speaking Japanese all the time. There were four of us W&L Students there- me, Sirocco, Levi, and Alex. The family made tacos for us- real tacos! Or at least close enough. I had the option to put octopus on it, thereby creating a certifiable "tako taco," but I decided against it. They also had Cherry Coke- my favorite soda! The host family had spent the weekend in Kyoto, and had brought back a ton of delicious sweets that we got to snack on :) Along with being able to speak English with a bunch of people, and just being able to sit on a real couch (my host family doesnt have any couches) and watch kids anime shows was relaxing and made me almost feel like I was back in America. Both Levi and Alex had younger siblings in their host family, so we went to a nearby elementary school and played badminton and played on the playground. I think its interesting that most of the playing area for the elementary school was just dirt, with no grass on the baseball or soccer field. I suppose it might be too expensive and impractical to maintain, but it did look a little empty and run-down from my view.
Ill be spending tonight at Siroccos, and tomorrow I think we may go back to visit Kenrokuen and downtown Kanazawa. Tomorrow is Childrens day; I would like to get some Koi flags if I can (theyre a symbol for childrens day like a jack-o-lantern is for halloween). I hope everyone is doing OK in the US- I just read that Boise got some pretty strong winds recently, so I hope everyones houses are safe there.
