So it seems like the short summer is nearing its' end - since about two nights ago, I am using a light blanket when sleeping.
Have you enjoyed the limited, hot days?
I missed going to Chikusa River, there's a really cool place ("cool" having two meanings in this particular case!) behind
ちくさ道の駅 where one can swim & play in the refreshing river....but this year there just weren't enough "killing hot" days.
And on top of that, of course, that area had some serious problems during the heavy rain & typhoon days, which made it even more difficult to go there.

So, today our nice group was compiled of Erica (her second time!), Laura, Mikayla, Michaela (she cannot contact her son!),
Courtney, and me. 
Erica was so lucky to be the first person to purchase the new "high-tech" tickets! Are you curious? Than, come and see!
(hint: Scissors will be a thing of the past!)

Today, we enjoyed refreshing coffee -jelly, and I had iced coffee, so I guess that's like coffee with  coffee?
 


Our study phrase was short & easy, like this:



Well, this guy seems not to be able to go to sleep! In the contrary, if I close my eyes now, I'll be gone it
3 seconds - I'm really sleepy!

Ok, watch out for the "new" influenza virus (one of our topics on the agenda today), but don't panic!

See you soon,

The "Master"
