Erica says Owen is making this face with increasing frequency and that she's not sure what he's thinking. Got any ideas? If so, please comment or post them.

Erica's latest
Yesterday, as Erica was busy preparing for their trip to Delta and her show at Ridgway, she sent me her most current version of her Chameleon. With her permission, I'm posting this incredibly cool creation. I can't stop looking at it. I hope the posted image does it justice. Good luck in Ridgway, Erica. I hope the weather is better than it was last year and better than it is forecast to be here.
Odawara Castle
This past week Emily and I traveled by train to Odawara Castle, with our Japanese Head Start class. Odawara is a beautiful, ocean side city. The castle is 600 years old. It would be a great place to take family when you all visit!.....hint, hint
From a website:
Odawara Castle was the family residence of feudal lord Hojo. You can retrace the mighty steps of feudal lords in this elegant place which has come through the Edo age to the present day.
Take a step back in time with feudal costumes - at the Tokiwagi gate of the castle, you can hire (for a fee) samurai armour and kimono and have your photograph taken wearing the outfit, with the castle in the background. It will be a wonderful souvenir of your visit.
An Outback Experience!
Emily, Marin, and I have been working hard to truly experience Japan in every aspect, especially in the eating establishments. So far my favorite is Jumbo Shrimp with fried Tempura along with Pot Stickers. The Sushi is pretty tasty too (I haven't gone after the really weird stuff though). Today we went by train to a shopping district in the town of Ebina which is not too far away. As we were walking through the mall area we saw something that made our stomachs growl. Outback Steakhouse!! Thats right. Not only is there a COSTCO in Japan (we have yet to go), but there is an Outback Steakhouse as well! It was good to taste something of home (besides Subway).
