it’s only been a day and i already miss these kids. we had such a great time together.

anybody seen a ford explorer in the market city parking lot for a long time? yeah, that was mine. as we were pulling out of foodland, my engine died and that was it. i had to get it towed to my house and pay $75. can somebody please come over and steal it? it would make my life much easier….

these next 3 photos were taken by maki-san. her and matsu were our photographers that night at the bbq. this is mari-chan and mito-chan. i swear they look like sisters. i still remember walking into a japanese restaurant and mistakenly taking mari-chan for mito-chan. i hardly even knew her and i kept on walking up to her because i wanted to give her a hug. then i stopped a few feet before because something was a little different. i felt pretty stupid. one of the most embarrassing moments of my life for sure.

reid and his wife yuko have been supporting We Are One from the beginning. i was stoked for reid to finally meet one of our tohoku friends.

shun-kun on his 3rd slice of ted’s bakery pie. it was so sweet!
*last, been getting reports these past few days on the next typhoon heading to japan. the banks are set up, my boards are ready, my camera gear, and i’m ready for anything! can’t wait!
