A train ride

Becky and Matt's home teacher volunteers at a train on Saturdays. We were able to buy tickets for the short ride from the home depot out for about 20 minutes and then back. We all enjoyed our beautiful outdoor seats and the changing autumn leaves in the surrounding scenery.

Gettysburg

The trip to Gettysburg was very humbling and impressive--all of those young men who died for their beliefs--hard to comprehend without tears:

John at the cemetary.

Matt at Little Round Top

Donna and John at Little Round Top.

John and Grandma Kandie at lunch, coloring of course.

Becky and Michael coloring at lunch

All of us taking a break between tours, (Keith is on the camera).

Our Apartment building

The Japanese characters by our apartment tell the name of the apartment building: Jyo-shi-dai-mae Sunshine. It means "Sunshine Apartments which are in front of the Women's University." We assume that the campus which is directly across the street to the east was once a women's university. If you zoom out you can see the chuch building and parking lot. We are on the very north end of the west wing of the apartment building. When we look out of our windows at the end of our apartment, we can look down at the church parking lot. If you zoom out three times, you can see our 7-11 in the bottom right corner, where we walk nearly every day. They have great salads and am pan (a sweet bean filled roll). Dad prefers to eat at 7-11 to eating at McDonalds! We also have a McDonalds close by. $5.00 for a hamburger, but you can choose a shrimp burger if you want. The elders say it is quite good.
