Today Patton, Myself, and Mr. Kawai and his wife went on a top secret get away to check out a possible addition for the Japan Tour 2012...and we definitely found a spot to that was a must see for the kids....An Old Ninja Village...Complete with the Ninja Museum. It took most of the day but it was definitely well worth...a 30 Minute Car Ride...1 Hour Ferry Ride...10 Min Tax Ride....and Finally a two Hour Train Ride.... On the ferry were were actually able to catch up with Mallory and Morgan as their host families were taking them on a "Sunday Trip"...Mallory was headed to a JHS Baseball Game and Morgan was headed to the Aquarium. Over all this was an OUTSTANDING day, tomorrow will be a day at the schools for the students as will Tuesday and Wednesday...and then Thursday Morning we will begin our Tour of Japan with a trip to Tokyo! Stay tuned for some great stories and pictures!!

On the bus to the ninja town...look in the bus teru teru bozu hanging from the rails are supposed to ward off the rain (Patton Sensei says they dont work..) and the lavender hanging on the bus is from a festival of lavender in a near by town..
