Day 15 (April 25th)

Today was a very....tasty day. :) Mr. Boiney called me on Thursday night and invited Hanna, me and Okaa-san to lunch with him and Ms. Shen, (Hanna's teacher.) Of course, we agreed. ;) We drove into Matsumoto and met them in front of Matsumoto station, then walked down the street a ways and into a curry shop.
It was delicious!

Afterwards, we went in search of this tea shop that we had heard about from a few teachers who had been there. We weren't quite sure how to get there, but as luck had it, we ran into one of the teachers at the cross walk! Imagine that. :)

Too many choices! But we heard that the cream puffs were excellent....

Me, Ms. Shen, Okaa-san, Hanna


Ms. Shen and Okaa-san drinking their tea.

It was good tea. :)

And the cream puffs were indeed excellent! Mr. Boiney had to have three. :) See the way he looks at them?

Afterwards, after thanking Mr. Boiney and Ms. Shen for lunch, (and tea!) we parted with them and visited a shop on the street, where I bought a few things. Okay, more than a few things, but you'll have to wait to find out what they were. ;)

Dress Rehearsal tomorrow!

Mata ne. ;)

Lauren,

Upon looking at the variety of desserts, we also chose the cream puffs. Do you think it would travel well back to the US? :)

I'll be praying for all your wonderful hard work to pay off during the concert. I KNOW you will be fabulous! Hello to Mr. B.

We miss you!

Mmmm...now I know why you made the comment about trying on your dress to make sure it still fit! I'm curious about your purchases and glad you are spending some of your money to have something to remember the trip by.
