Summer in the country
July 9th, 2006
Summertime! My favorite season, coming in right behind spring, fall and winter. A typhoon is headed vaguely this way, it’s hot and muggy, and the bugs are bigger than ever. Summertime is what happens when it isn’t raining, which unfortunately is not very often. Trips to swimming holes, fireworks, snowcones covered with sweet beans, condensed milk and green tea syrup. Girls in yukatas with cellphones and iPods. Yes, lovely indeed. However, summertime this year for me will include– packing while sweating, teaching while sweating, performing the piano while sweating, trying to look respectable during farewell ceremonies while sweating (perhaps I can pass off the sweat as tears of sadness? Yes, I am that sad to be leaving you. I’ve been this sad to be leaving you since May!).

Sarita! while i am sad for you to be sad about leaving, i am SO very glad you will be back in the states. and there is lots of airconditioning in the states! and no typhoons. and friendly people who miss you!
I went to the only thai temple in sweden the other day. i thought of you guys. Obviously i know you live in japan, but you visited thailand and saw lots of temples and I remember the pictures!
I hope things go ok for you.
