Hi from Amy

Kia Ora and Konichiwa!

Times flying as we wind down to the last few months in Japan...

Two weeks ago we moved into an apartment next to the in-laws and Hitomi and I finished up at work (YEAH!!!)
Amy`s into it all, Baba (Grandma) has the meanest garden full of bugs, imaginary monsters and massive tomatoes!
It`s a warm end to summer here with a few Typhoons to come, nice coolish nights now and should be just cold enough before we all head back to New Zealand a second summer...ahhh

Amy`s into cutting up Dad`s drawings, dancing, singing and sporatic English and catching and squashing anything that moves...

Dad`s bought a new camera and I hope to get some regular shots uploaded to dish up a pot-luck portrait of Japanese life.
It`s nice to have the time to enjoy Japan again.

We`re up in the north (Iwate Prefecture) on the east coast. The water`s getting cold but the wetsuit`s keeping the numbness away when out surfing. We`re all going to a Futsal Tournament this weekend up on a mountain called
Mt Iwaki, not sure how the lungs`ll cope!

(But I`ll keep you posted..)
