On Sunday, October 21st we met with our new friends, the Ide-sans and drove to an apple orchard about 1 1/2 hours northwest of Himeji! We ate unlimited fresh, delicious apples! We met their daughter, son-in-law, and their two adorable granddaugthers, Asahai (age 4) and Aoi (age 3). After Joe carted them around on his shoulders and we played the "1,2,3 weeee" game, they became our best friends. After we stuffed our faces full of apples, we went to a gorgeous waterfall. We finished the day off with hoto cohee (hot coffee) and ice cream! When Joe said "ice cream" the girls knew what it was right away! They screamed "ica creama!" I guess ice cream is a universal word! We had a wonderful time, and are so lucky to have made these new friends.

Hi, you two! We're loving all the photos and commentary -- it helps us to feel that you aren't quite so far away! It is SO great share in the fabulous things you're seeing and doing, and it brings back memories for us of our times in Japan. You both look terrific, and so at home there. The people ARE great, aren't they?! Keep up the blogs - we're regular visitors! We're sending so much love to you both, as well as the entire wonderful Casey family - you're all in our hearts and prayers. HUGS! Bee & Bill.
These photos are gorgeous!
