Pottery
Way way back in March Becky and I went to Fukuoka to make pottery, and we have been so busy since then that we have been unable to set up a day that worked for everyone involved to go back and glaze the things we made! So, a couple weekends ago we finally went back to paint our pottery!


Mitsuko and her kiln
This is the friendliest cat ever! It acts kind of like a dog and follows you around and jumps up onto your lap if you pat it. It was also trying to eat Becky's food.
Relaxing with tea and cat in the massage chair
Afterwards we went for okonomiyaki!

Thanksgiving Weekend
I spent Thanksgiving weekend camping in Akiyoshidai and then at a sake festival in Hiroshima.

Sake Festival in Hiroshima
At this annual event, you pay a 1500yen entrance fee, which gets you your own little sake cup, then you can sample sake from all over Japan!
