Like most good days, today started with breakfast. My hostess said that because they have been on a trip, food stockpiles in the house are low, so today’s breakfast was simple.  If this is simple, I'm looking forward to a fancy breakfast. I even had yummy carrots.

Were you wondering what some of the dishes are? We had rice and tofu. In the leaf shape dish is something like potato galette. In the white dish is seaweed called nori. It is dried in sheet form. My host family sometimes eats rice wrapped in the nori.

This afternoon I went to the park with my host family. There was some yummy clover.

We played with this friendly lion.

We also went to Lake Biwa. It is the lake that I mentioned in my first post from Otsu, the largest lake in Japan.

The wind was strong today and the waves were high. However, we tried to go near the water. 

Now it is late and I am looking forward to my cozy little bed after so much exercise at the park.
