Pork and kimchi with nira, a nice egg drop soup, some salmon pork fried rice, and gyoza. Great lunch yesterday and our first lunch out without having to rush home. Still hasn’t set in yet. The bones are still in the urn at the shrine in the next room. We’ve got a LOT of work to do, but our next chapter in our book of life is about to get the page turned. Now all we need is for you folks back home to get your act together so that we CAN come back and actually have a country to go back home to. I love Japan, Mrs S does too. But we LOVE America. Stop fighting and just REALIZE that you’ve been on the wrong path for far too long and over romanticizing the past won’t bring it back and is definitely not the key to greatness. Embrace the future. Turn the page. We’re counting on you. #nextchapterinlife #turnthepage #liveinthenow #buildthefuture #learnfromhistory #dontglorifyit #usa #wewanttocomehome (at Wanitakashiro, Otsu-shi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCdxBAGJ1Q4/?igshid=1948jwibu65fc
