Udon Journey in Kagawa

The boys friend who went to preschool together in The U.S. and his mom and us went to Kagawa, Shikoku Island to try Udon noodle.  It is said Shikoku Udon is very very good, and we were wondering how good it could be???

We took long distance bus from Osaka to Takamatsu and the friend took JR

The last day in Okinawa

The morning we check out..........

The last doggie walk

The dog, Hime (he-may), apartment staff Mr. I and the next door guest Mr. Ikkyu.  All were very nice to the boys.

We had a few hours until our flight, so let's swim one last time.

They found a baseball.

Play catch in the sea.

They made the goat smile😊

The boys were really really sad to leave Okinawa.
They enjoyed not only their vacation, but the friendship with Hime and Mr. I.
We had much better time than staying at a five star hotel.

They post J &A in their blog, too.  They are in Japanese though.
