Halloween and Home

Announcement: I am officially coming home this Christmas, despite what I may have said before. I will arrive in Charlotte on December 22nd and return to Japan on January 7th.

Halloween came and went. I attended a party at a bar in Misawa last weekend and this weekend I went to a kid-oriented community party in Mutsu. Of course I've done multiple Halloween related English lessons over the past week. I once again wore the black mask that I made last year. I tried it with different combinations and found my favorite to be wearing the mask with my suit and a black tie. People found it creepy, and I may have made one girl cry. Anyway, some Halloween pics:



In other news, autumn is in full swing (okay - that is not really news, I admit). There are some nice color changes in the mountains around here, and Satoko and I have gone on a couple drives in search of pleasant scenery.
