Day 9

I can not believe that my trip is at the halfway point already! Boy, time flies!

Today, I watched the kids in the morning because it was Cole's first day of school (poor thing). After getting some my little pony playing out of my system, I headed out to the Institute for Nature Study. Yay, nice weather :) no 'promise of rain' shall change my plans today. Despite the million mosquito bites I got there, the park was very pleasant. I liked all the different plants and flowers that they have here, and I found it amusing to find a few variations of ones we have back home (tiny hosta, hydrenga with only an outer ring of flowers) I kept hoping to find a japanese rhino beetle, but alas there were none to be seen :( I did find a good number of spiders though. Tomorrow night we're staying over at Shunji's parents house. Should be interesting...

Okay, here's a video of the spiders I saw...

.And here's a spider-free video of my day (for those arachnophobes out there):

  2. Love, love, love the turtles! (And I also suspect a case of chronic turtle feeding.)

    Maybe the little green fellows were some kind of leafhopper?
