Our day began with the anticipated (and very much hoped for) 6:00 am call telling us that school was cancelled for the day due to the typhoon. The winds were crazy although we didn't have much rain. After Jeph called the five families on his phone tree list, we headed back to bed and enjoyed a few extra hours of sleep. We then joined our fellow colleagues, Amy and Paul for lunch and enjoyed what turned out to be a beautiful day!! Our thanks to this typhoon- for packing a punch strong enough to get school cancelled, but not strong enough to do much damage- and allowing the sun to break through for a wonderful day!
Here Amy and I are hanging out, in the sun, outside of the restaurant. Notice the dry pavement, flowers and sunshine! Not bad for a typhoon day!
Here we are with the boys.
Look what we found at the 100 yen shop! Actually, the 100 yen shop was upstairs but we found all kinds of interesting things on this floor! Notice the size of these things... makes me even more curious why all the chocolate comes in teeny, tiny packages when clearly, super sizes do exist!
