Konishiwa!

This last couple of weeks we've studied a bit about Japan. The conclusion (for now) of our studies was a visit to Kako Graviet's home. I met Kako during swim season--our kids had lessons together, and we quickly became friends. She is GREAT!!!!
Eya, Kako, Emi

Kako took some time to show us pictures and tell us a little about her home town (just outside Tokeyo). After reading books about Japan, it was very interesting to see and hear all that she shared. Here are some of what she shared with us...

Japanese money- YEN

Her daughter, Eya in traditional clothing--Kimono
