Back in Chiba

Hello from Kamatori, Japan. I arrived safely back in Tsukishima from Kyoto on Wednesday and then came to Chiba yesterday afternoon... Getting here was an adventure in itself, since I missed my train to Shin-Kiba and had to wait for the next one. That caused me to be just in time for a local train to the next stop, rather than a preferred rapid train. When I finally got to the next station where I was supposed to change lines, I found that there was a 30 minute delay on that line due to the typhoon! Overall, I was almost an hour late getting to the Kamatori station.
I enjoyed my three days in Kyoto, although I think I like Nikko better... I finally found one Japanese food that I don't like. I'm not sure what it was, but I did not find it to my taste. I have also come to the conclusion that I like raw fish better than cooked fish, a discovery rather shocking to me at first! I have lots of pictures from my last trip, but haven't had the time to empty my camera card since I got back. (I'll post those later.) Wednesday night I went out with Keiko and Iako for monjayaki, which was really delicious. After we got back to the house, we had donuts that Iako had brought! I had a green tea filled donut with no beans this time, and it was quite good! That night all three of us stayed in Tsukishima. Yesterday morning I washed a load of clothes (something I had really been needing to do) and hung them out to dry, after which I had a 7-11 lunch and finished off the last donut. :) Then I had time to chat with my family for a while. I really enjoyed it since it had been so long since I had been able have internet access. Then I was supposed to catch the 4:06 train to Shin-Kiba, but missed it by about 3 minutes! So anyway.... I got here safely.
Well, I should probably go for now since it is nearly lunch time here...
Love,
Hannah
