Back to Kita City and host families for the next two days…

Sleeping in a traditional Japanese hotel on tatami mats and futons, we were awakened to the sounds of pounding rains, thunder and lightening. A very stormy morning outside.

We did some indoor gymnastics (morning exercise), then breakfast, then fun and games and performance practice for the farewell assembly.

Bus ride back to Tokyo and students are back with their families again…

Sunday is a free day with host families and then they attend classes all day with their host students on Monday. We will gather as a group one final time for the farewell assembly on Monday afternoon. Our time in Japan is winding down, but there are so many impressions to process and think about as we get ready to return…
