Down By the Bay

We kicked off the New Year with a wild night of sermon preparation, reading, doing a jigsaw puzzle, and filling out online quizzes. Jen spoke the next morning at our Grace Fellowship service. The rest of the day we played Dutch blitz at Steve and Tiffany’s.

On the 2nd Hideki and Kayoko took us Canadians down to Kobe. The city is about an hour drive north-west (but to be very sure you might want to look that fact up) and is a sea port. The little we were able to explore was beautiful! It was nice to be near the sea, I miss the ocean. We spent the morning on a boardwalk with many cute little shops that was close to the waterfront. Then we went to Chinatown for lunch and a walk down a very crowded street.

Word Up: hachi -eight
