MOM

well its been a really quiet and fairly uneventful last few weeks. Sake Festival was great, we tasted over 50 types of Sake in less then 3 hours.. to say the room was spinning is an understatement. but it was so great.

I haven't had any work to do in weeks so school has been boring.. but it will get busy again starting right after my vacation with mom.

Mom gets here this afternoon!!! I'm heading off to Tokyo in a couple of hours so that I can meet her at the airport, where she is bringing me all kinds of goodies- lucky charms, VT maple syrup (thanks Debbie and Gary), and a bunch of other great things that I miss from home. After I pick her up we are going to head back to the hotel in tokyo. We will spend 3 days in Tokyo and then take a train to Kyoto, one of the traditional cities in Japan, its got great buildings and is really traditional Japan. We will be there for 4 days before heading back to Tokyo so mom can fly out on the 31st.

she wants to post photos and updates on here so check back this week for news of our adventures.. which will surely include some getting lost photos, and pictures of the strange foods we end up getting, mostly because i don't know enough japanese to read a menu..


any way I am so excited I can't sleep..
Take care all!
