Mom is spending Christmas and New Years with me in Japan. I am very thankful.

Today we went to Kurashiki City to wander about the historical district and shopping areas. She bought me a few things for my apartment, and she bought some souvenirs and presents for friends and family. We walked through the Bikan historical district. The district is centered around a canal lined with willows. Koi and white swans feed throughout the canal. We drank $6 coffees and ate Japanese sweets.

Tonight we ate at Kura Pura. One of the ladies that I work for in Okayama city, Mrs. Fujimoto, knows the owner of the restaurant. She gave me $50 dollars worth of gift certificates, which turned out to be very useful because the 7 course meal turned out to be almost $100 for the both of us.

All around, it was a good day.
