We went to lunch at an outdoor food court across the way from the Manga Museum. I wish I had a better picture of the cool architecture. It survived the tsunami intact. We were asking what the Manga Museum was (for most people the name would give it away). It's a comic museum. Cool, I can think of plenty of people that would love to visit it.
View of the bridge, we went across it a lot to go places.
This old man biked here to fish. I wonder if he caught anything.
These construction barrier stands are so cute. Why can't we have this stuff in the US?
Having fun and getting friendly with the superhero characters.
Ooh motorcycle, this should be Dan!
Rowof shops and places to eat.
Mmm, lunch! With a Kirin apple pear flavored soda. So yummy. We only found it one or two other times. Wish they had it at home.
On the way back to finish up at the house, we saw some school girls walking home. I felt like I was in one of the photos or videos you see of Japanese school girls. Kind of surreal to see it, it's not just in photos. Ha.
Airin and Lisa finishing up their job. They were rocking the power tools by the time we were done. It was cool to watch.
Junpei (sp?) walking on the roof.
Airin in the shed that they were boarding up.
It's the afternoon and we've finished up the day's work. Ready to head back for some showers.
After lunch we didn't do any more cementing. When they told us what we were doing I was worried. I thought: Oh no, what will I do and how will I be of any help? But I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy mixing the cement a lot. I actually felt useful and helpful. It made me think of the areas in our own yard that need cementing.
