Fall in Japan

We went from hot to cold this Autumn in Numazu.  We hiked on Sunday to Mt. Kannuki and saw some leaves changing but not much.  Januck was happy to find two Geocaches.  It is nice to have a car to drive to Seiyu (which is the Japanese Walmart) to grocery shop.  We bought a rice container because Januck makes rice every day in our rice pot for our lunches.
This week we have school all week.  Thanksgiving is not celebrated here and most of my students have never tasted turkey.  I am relieved I don't feel pressured to shop on Black Friday.  Things are a lot simpler here but there are things about the States I do miss.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
