It’s been more than a year since we were in this Airbnb, the last of our trip. This place has now supplanted Japan twice as a destination. First, we were supposed to end our Worldschooling year there, but decided to stay in Italy instead. Then, this summer was supposed to be when we finally went east (well, Italy is east for us, but… further east!) but Christopher started a new job as a school principal (he was an AP before), meaning he no longer gets summers off. So we’re saving Japan for when he’s had enough vacay days to make it possible to go for a good chunk of time. Anyway, here we are, and to be here without the viola, without the homeschooling materials, just purely on vacation, is amazing.
I discovered this soda this morning. It’s made with cedar!! Along with the pine-chocolate-chip gelato from Gunther, seems like this is a food trend to watch/enjoy.

Also, pretty cool that I woke up to THIS, after a long nap!!
