here i am in miyazaki! we are having a nice time. dinner last night was great, especially all the cheese! ok, just kidding, it was the sparkling wine. oops, i mean the beef in guiness! yum! we might even be on TV, isn't that fun? it's cold here in the morning, though, and i didn't bring enough clothes for poor hiro. such a neglected boy...

today we will have a ceremony at the temple for sasha. a kind of christening i think. i hope to take pictures, especially of her in the christening dress my friend is lending us. and i hope she'll be a good baby as usual and not cry during the ceremony. i also hope that hiro doesn't scream his head off. wish us luck!
