The towel museum has 5 floors...

6- 22
Hello everyone. I have lost my keyboard. Not really, but it's batteries are dead, so it is dead to me. I am using dictation. So who knows what kind of mistakes this will make.

Monday, we looked up cake buffets and found one that has excellent reviews. So we went. We saw the word patisserie so we went and saw shaved ice. Everywhere, shaved ice. It was remarkable. I did not know that shaved ice was a cake. So we were startled, but we enjoyed our “cake”. I had mango “cake”. P. shimai had melon “cake”. It was remarkable. The “cake” was very good. Next time we will probably go to a different cake shop.

We pulled weeds three times this week for different people (some we are teaching and some we are not. } It was very fun. We did not bring the gas mask. We should have. It would have been funny. Next, we went to a towel museum with the SGG group (that gets together to practice English). It was very fun, but there were five floors, and the fifth one was the towel museum. We went everywhere except the fifth floor. So we did not actually see the museum. The wonderful SGG members paid for our food there. The lunch came with a beautiful dessert. Mango Jell-O, and strawberry ice cream. When we saw the dessert, P. Shimai looked at me and said, "Look, Sands Shimai! Cake!" Then they bought us towel scarves. We were surprised, and had a hard time choosing colors. I chose a white one, P. Shimai was torn between a blue one and a purple one. As she was deciding, the SGG members began talking about how nice it would be to have two scarves. I turned to P. Shimai, and said, "if you don't choose now, they will buy you both."

In a heartbeat, she chose one. I was very impressed.

Oh, also on Monday, we went to the bike shop. My bike, had fallen over several times in the wind. It was interesting. My bike basket had come
entirely off of its welding, and the bottom was separated from the sides. So we finally got it fixed last week.



Other than that, our week was pretty normal. Lots of teaching.  Imabari's doing really well. Pray for us and wish us luck!

Love,
Sands Shimai
