It's not the heat that gets you...

Crazy weather lately. Friday morning we were awoken by a loud rainy and windy storm. Friday evening was a torrential downpour, just crazy, with thunder and lightning to go with it. Then Saturday and Sunday was hot and sunny. Today (Sunday) was about 90 degrees F and close to 100 percent humidity. It's a good thing our apartment has an air conditioner...if only we could figure out how to properly use it, because of course, the controls are all in Japanese. I think I got it working though...One of the tougher things lately is trying to stave off boredom. There really is nothing to do in our town, even on the weekends, and right now we are a little too strapped for cash to do much traveling. We have played many games of Rummy, Uno, Mille Bornes, San Juan, and Yahtzee, they're starting to wear a little thin.

One interesting development is that we are seriously considering climbing Mt. Fuji (or as the Japanese call it, Fuji-san) this August when we have no school. I never would have thought it to be very possible before coming here, but the more research I do, the more plausible it sounds. Will keep you updated on that as the info comes.

That's it for now. Later!
