GALEN'S TRIP: Yummy Pension

This is Yummy Pension.  We were all relieved to be able to get some rest after some driving around.  To get our evening started, we first went to the Onsen.  The Onsen is a natural bathing water filled with minerals and yes, it's hot!  The boys went to one and us girls went to ours later.  All the tension and aching parts went away!
We met at the dining room.  The highlight of the meal are the LARGE crabs but before that, we had other tasty meals.
Yummy Steak.
Baked Fish with pizza sauce.  Surprisingly tasty!
Beer and wine.  I am not a big fan of beer but this was tasty.
White wine and dipping sauce to go with the crab.
"This will all disappear in a blink of an eye!"
as
The crab was indeed tasty!  It was fun watching my cute hubby eat.
I'm not sure what Galen was thinking...
but after seeing look up as though lightning might zap him, I had an inkling.
One round completed...
can he eat another round of huge tasty crabs?
Yes he can...and he did...
with his wife's help! 
As if that wasn't enough, we had dessert.  YUMMY.
Yusuke's parents got Galen a dancing cat as a gift.
Galen loved it and in fact got up and danced with the waitress as he played the music.
Both tired but relaxed.
After dinner the boys played some card games.
Mamiko looked like she was having a good time but was trying not to collapse in sleep!  Cute.
Yusuke gazing at Galen.
Yup, so as I've mentioned a zillion times, everyone had a good time.  It was relaxing and truly refreshing.
Next day.  Outside looked beautiful.
We slept alright. 
Yusuke bright and handsome in the morning.
Me.
Breakfast.
I, Leena Ely Muto, love coffee.
Time to say goodbye.  Our stay at the Yummy Pension was refreshing.
Heading down to the car.
One thing I enjoyed the most along with my hubby were all the beautiful creation around us.
The mist only enhanced the beauty of everything around us.  Jehovah's masterpiece!

CONVENTION 2010: REMAIN CLOSE TO JEHOVAH

After the convention we went to a place called Sushi Roll.  I hate green tea but after sprinkling a bit of green tea powder in hot water, it can be tolerable.  Siblings, when you come, we are going there!
Yusuke was trying to teach me how to use a yo-yo.  It wasn't so successful!
My new best friend!  She's 11 years old...
My new best friend's parents.  Yusuke and I are grateful to have met them!  They are from Zimbabwe.
Narita English Congregation's last convention.

Galen's Trip: Party at Shinsuke's House! July 10


This particular Saturday morning started off with an english lesson followed by a bit of service. Yusuke , Galen and I headed to the market to grab some lunch for me before meeting up with Natsuko and Ichiro. Natsuko and I had to meet up to check on our parts for the convention...
We were both nervous but it turned out alright...and Ichiro bought us drinks so that was awesome!! I had coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YuM!


Meanwhile, the guys did some bonding....

After coming back from Ebina, my husband made alone time for just us two at my favorite place! STARBUCKS!! Actually, any coffee place would do... but I honestly prefer Yusuke's coffee. ZENZEN OISHII! Very tasty!



Gardenia in Japan. What?!

A Couple flowers that grow on Starbucks property. And below is a view as we leave Starbucks. I love alone times with my hubby... It always makes my day!
