first want to start by saying thank you to Hattori-san for the Kyoto treats! 
then want to thank Kurosawa-san for the sweet chocolates! 
then want to thank Asayama-san for planning our day today. he said he wanted to surf at our secret spot in the morning again. only 2 guys out and perfect waves so he made the right choice. 
smiling and taking off on head high waves is how to keep calm. 
amazing session Asayama-san. everyday your surfing is getting better and better. so is your smile…
and thank you too for choosing where to eat for lunch. a hot pastrami sandwich with minestrone soup is my favorite. 
i had plans to take Tomami-san surfing this afternoon. Tomami-san is a big fan of Asayama-san so she really wanted to meet him someday. and that someday was today! 
we had the most amazing session ever! all the talking, all the surfing, and all the laughing, it couldn’t have been any better. photos of our amazing session coming soon. 
remember that Japanese mouse trap i bought a month ago? well, i’ve been trying to catch a little mouse in my attic for a long time. and guess what? it finally took the cheese in the trap and got stuck inside. 
it didn’t turn out to be a little mouse. it was a huge rat!!! omg, this rat was living in my house for the past few months? now i have a new pet. does anyone want him for free? if so, come and get him…
