So, as many of you who follow our blog probably know.. we will be coming home for a visit TOMORROW! Today we still had some last minute errands to run before the long flight home. Of course we had to walk because it snowed about 2-3 feet of snow yesterday (yes, 2-3 feet!), which meant we couldn't get the bikes out just yet!!! As we were walking down the street we noticed to conspicuous Japanese girls taking pictures of an ordinary taiyaki shop (this is a Japanese dessert), and they happened to cross the street and get right in front of us while we all had to wait for the light to change. One of the girls looked at us a little too happily, but we tried to ignore her as we do all of the stares we get from Japanese people from this area (yes, they have a tendency to look at us like we're zoo animals!) But then, to our relief, we realized she didn't think we were zoo animals! Instead she thought we were celebrities.. she asked us if she could take our picture.. ... on HER camera, not ours! Yes, she wanted a picture of the foreigners!! After we smiled for the camera, we asked where they were from and found out they were from Tokyo and are visiting the "photographer's" grandfather that lives in Hirosaki! And they were lucky enough to spot 2 of the very few foreigners in town!
Anyway, onto more important things.. as we said, we'll be coming home for about a month, from March 13-April 8, so if anyone wants to get ahold of us, you can post on here, send us an email, or post on Angie's facebook wall! We hope we get to see many of you (all would be even better, but we know that's not possible with so much stuff to do!) when we're at home!!
