More photos from Robert

Last Sunday, my host mother Sumiko took me on another excursion into the countryside. I met her sisters, brother, mother, and their families. I took another bike ride around the local town, and here are some of the photos that I took from that day.
*Meeting Sumiko's mother and sisters.


*The red roof picture is Sumiko's childhood house. It is on a farm where they grow a variety of vegetables.
*The Samurai-looking photo is a family picture that was hung in the shrine room of grandma's house. I am not sure who it was, but I thought it was a great picture. *You can barely see from the next photo that there are family portraits hung above the shrine.


*This hallway picture was the hall that connected the kitchen to the bathroom. The house was/is very old and in pretty bad shape, but it was cool anyway.
*The Kitchen stove...

*Right-on, [I found] Amall!

* Japanese yard ornaments...

* Lunch with the family. The young boy later helped me with my Japanese homework!

*The food was yummy!

* Working on the family farm.
* neighborhood shrines (tombs actually)

*View from the driveway of the farm.
