Well, I'm still getting the hang of this blog thing so when I wrote the last entry I sent it to draft instead of to y'all. So now you have two entries to read. Today we spent the day at Shimamoto High School. Just in case you are trying to find Shimamoto on the map, it is a small town half way between Osaka and Kyoto. The kids were treated like honored guests and treated to a Japanese writing class as well as a caligraphy class. They participated in an English and Music class and performed for a group of about 50 2nd year students. At the end Miranda asked if this is what being a FolKid felt like and we asked what she meant. She said that she felt like a rock star and everyone here loved her. She wants to be a FolKid for life! Sarah Zelley taught her first dance and Michaela lead her first snake dance. Both were successful. Everyone is still healthy.
Tomorrow we go to Hiroshima by train for an overnight on Miagima.

It sounds like you are really busy! Tell Sarah Z that we are proud of her. How much has she lost?
Thanks for the update!
I'm not sure if your getting any emails. I need John to call home.
Thanks
Hi Miranda,
We just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you. I'm glad you feel like a rock star. Gram and Gramp wanted me to tell you that they are thinking of you too.
Love Aunt cheryl, Uncle Chris, Aj, Jessica, Kyle and Hannah
Today we're at the aquarium in Boston and saw moon jellyfish which apparently are so prolific, they can cause clogging of powerplants that can result in blackouts in Japan and Australia. Katiya: I'm so proud of you for wanting to go on this trip and be willing to try new things at such a young age. Your sisters and Lee are getting tired of me telling them what time it is in Japan and what the schedule states that you're doing all of the time. Hopefully, you're taking many pictures and writing about this great experience in your journal. We all love you very much.
Hi Miranda,
It's only Thursday evening here, but I wanted to make sure that you got a Happy Birthday wish from home, so I hope that you do!!! We are all thinking of you everyday and will be thinking of you Saturday as you turn 11 in JAPAN how exciting is that??? We're glad you feel like a rock star, because that's what you are to us...a shining star. Have a great time. Learn lots! Have a Happy Happy Birthday, we miss you.
Love Mommy, Daddy, Josh, Oti, Taz, Candy, and Tasha oxox
Happy Birthday Miranda! -from Katiya's Mom. I bet this is a birthday you will remember your whole life!
And hello to all the Folkids (including the Folkadults). Your trip sounds amazing so far. I wish I could be a ladybug on Katiya's shoulder and see all that is going on. Hey Katiya, the Red Sox and Yankees played three games last weekend and guess who lost all three? Put it this way, I am very happy about it and Lee is not! Rematch this weekend; hopefully the tables will not be turned!
Erica says to tell you hello. Mikela and Kelsey too, and Lee, Grammie and Grampie...we are all missing you, Taxi and Bunny also, but happy you are there. Love, love, love you!
