 We made a quick stop to pick strawberries for dinner - these were absolutely the best strawberries that any of us have ever tasted! |
 Here we are showing off our strawberries to the man who runs the Asakura student exchange program (on the left). The strawberries actually belong to Nion (spelling?), the man in the middle. |
 More of Asakura's scenery |
 This is Mitsuko's house, home for Paula and Katie during our two nights here, and also where we had dinner tonight. |
 Getting ready for our wonderful Sukiyaki dinner! We're sitting with Marina, who teaches English here in Asakura. |
 This is Mitsuko's ancestral shrine - she prays here each morning |
 This is Mitsuko's friend, starting to cook the sukiyaki dinner |
 Enjoying dinner, with some of our wonderful strawberries ready for dessert |
 David had fun sharing our pictures from home with Mitsuko and her friend |
