JCI



Hi y'all. I'm feeling a little homesick tonight as I just returned from three days at the JCI convention (Japanese Concrete Institute for those not in the know). It was great fun and the lab group went out for two very awesome dinners, but it was a long trip back and when I am tired I seem to be the most vunerable to homesickness. The rest of the group is taking a trip to Kyoto this weekend but I am passing as it is one of the biggest festivals in Kyoto this weekend and only very expensive hotels are available. I would rather spend my $$ on a couple of awesome souvenirs. Instead I will go to a 70 minute fireworks show in Tokyo and do some shopping. Also take some time to relax. Monday is a holiday here so we have a long weekend. So you should expect me to keep up with this blog in the next days. I know I have been slacking!! It's late, I'm tired and it is hotter than hades on this balcony tonight. So chow for now and I'll talk to y'all soon.

i agree - that is not the most appetizing thing i ever saw . . . not that it will make you feel any cooler, but you're not missing cool, breezy weather here - upper 80's today and 90's for the next several days - i've missed your daily posts, but got your postcard in the mail today ;)
