A Year Later

Wow...It's hard to believe it has been a year since my return from Japan. I had a very busy year as "ambassador". My Follow-on program went as planned, speaking to various groups and planning activities at school and within the community. I am excited that I will have the opportunity to travel back to Japan next year for three weeks with my family. Our neighbor will spend a year in Japan via a Fullbright Scholarship and has invited us to join her durning the summer. Needless to say we are looking forward to going. I will continue my ambassador role and will have so much more to bring back with me upon my return next summer. We will be staying in northern Japan, which will afford me the opportunity to compare and contrast my two visits. Of course we will be fully immersed in the culture as Alexis will be living within the community. How cool will that be? Stay tuned for more next summer!
