Sakura to Kuruma
No hanami (cherry-blossom-viewing party) this year, at least not so far, but I did take a bunch of pictures of the sakura in the neighborhood.
These kids are fishing for crayfish with bits of squid as bait. I don't know what they do with them once they catch them; eat them or look at them, I don't know.
There's some more springy neighborhood photos here.
Also, we have a car!
Sadly, we can't drive it yet. You can't take a car home until you have proof that you have somewhere to park it. You have to go to the police station and they have to come out and look at, and measure, your parking space. That took awhile to take care of: we were in Singapore for a week, and Macky was in charge of getting that paperwork taken care of. He's a busy DJ-man. So that finally got taken care of, and Jeff got the car home and into the space, but it has temporary tags.
They're really obvious. You aren't supposed to drive it much, like just to the place where you get real license plates. So, no picking up Dan, Robin, and Hannah from the airport tomorrow, because Jeff can't do it the tag thing 'til Monday. This country is KING when it comes to paperwork and waiting-time. But we have it, and it's quite roomy. Easily seat 4 adults and 3 kids. Yes, yes, we have a minivan.
The Tomazic-Kohrmanns (Kohrmen?) are coming tomorrow! Hannah will be our first child visitor (Katie's 16, that's not the same thing), so we'll see how that goes. Hopefully she will be followed by more (you know who you are, parents).
Happy First (belated) Birthday to my nephew Nathan. Haven't heard much about him lately, and I need some recent pictures, Scott!
As a bonus, here's some pics of girls with really big hair.
Many adventures (the good kind) next time, I'm sure.
