The day started with a trip to Katori City Hall where with met with three parents representing the three levels, elementary, junior high and high school. There was a question and answer session that left me convinced that we are more alike than we think.
We had a box lunch at City Hall and boarded the bus for Sawara.
We visited the Inoh Tadataka Museum. Inoh Tadataka surveyed Japan and made an incredibly accurate map of the entire country.
We shopped and observed students drawing along the river.
Our next stop was the Katori Shrine.
I think I found Totoro's tree!
Our final stop was the botanical gardens to see the irises. Nothing I can say can begin to approach the beauty of this place.

Jean, not sure if you're seeing your comments or not. The girls will love the Totoro tree - they've been on a new Totoro kick this summer, as Hannah found it loaded on my iPod and watched it for several days in a row, and then the Alamo Drafthouse is playing it this week, and they've already been once to see it on the big screen.
How is your arm?
