A great trip!

Well itfs been awhile since I've last written. The trip with my parents went really well. We spent the first few days in Kyoto doing sightseeing with Paul and his mom. Then my parents came to my apartment and we saw all the things around my house. Paul and I had a party for our parents to meet our friends. Then we went to Imadate, a nearby paper village, for a festival. The festival celebrated the paper goddess (a doll kept in a portable shrine), who was taken down from her temple in the mountains and brought all over the town and finally back up the mountain at night. Then on Monday my parents visited my school and lessons and afterward we headed up north to stay in a hot spring hotel. It was so much fun!
