So it begins…
I’ve been giving out this address, so, call me crazy, I do believe I should write something. My flight to Tokyo leaves in two days… or more specifically, about thirty-six hours. Once there, I’ll train for a week in Omiya (one of the cities that makes up the megalopolis that is Tokyo) and then will begin teaching ‘eikaiwa,’ or English conversation, in Akita, a city of about 300,000 located on north-eastern Honshu. In fact, I should be packing right now, but this is much more fun. There aren’t enough hours remaining before takeoff to accomplish what I need to do. Funny how that always seems to be the case.
I have quite a lot to say, but my suitcases with their gaping mouths are calling my name. This blog is still in its infantile stage, so please be patient as I piece things together. Here are a few pictures from the Columbia River Gorge taken yesterday. My dad and I went kayaking on Lost Lake, stopping briefly to snap a few shots of Multnomah Falls. As soon as I find a site to host my photo albums I’ll put up a link to more pictures. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!
EDIT (2/7/2007): Now that I have a shutterfly account I’ll start transferring my blog photos there to clear up some space. Click the picture below to see my albums.
