News from Misawa

Not a whole lot to report. Went to dinner for Valentine's Day on Monday night. Tuesday afternoon was spent in the pool teaching Noreen to swim. I got her to do the elementary backstroke and being used to the deep end. We're headed back this afternoon to work more at it.

It's been snowy and cold here in Misawa, I don't think it's been over 32F since I got here! Tonight we're going out with Liberty Tours (they run little tours around the area) to Hachinohe, a town just south of here, to a yakiniku restaurant (all you can eat, cook it yourself on a grill at your table).

And we didn't make it out to Hirosake castle, either. We couldn't sort out when it was and how to get there. Oh well....
