Where in the World is Leaptrott

I am now back in Tokyo from my trip to Kiryu.  I have completed my home stay which was wonderful.  The family took me out to Karokee and Sushi on the first day and then to the grocery store where I picked out veggies for tempura and breakfast.  (how sweet was a whole grain cereal for breakfast)   The tempura we cooked like we do fondu in the states.  It was very good.  The next morning we went to a park, to the temple and then out to eat lunch before going to the “big mall”.  It wasn’t any bigger than in the states but to the people in Japan it was a “big mall”.  I had a great time.  The next day we went into the mountains to stay at a traditional Japanese inn.  We shared a room with several others and slept on tatami mats floors and a futon.  (also did at host family, the best sleep yet despite the very cold home) The we a bath in the onsen after a 200 plate dinner(every little thing was served on individual plates, or at least this is what I was told)  It was good but the meal took over 2 hours, about half way through I was tired of eating even tough it wasn’t a lot.  I will upload pictures later.  It is close to midnight here and I need to go to bed because tomorrow I go to the “special school” at 7:30 am  It is 10 am Georgia time.  See you all in one week.
