Two Months? Are You kidding?

Another week has gone by. Can you believe we've been here for 2 months already?!?!?! We didn't do anything exciting this week so we'll write a little something just to stay in the routine of updating the site. We are starting to establish a weekly routine of not doing much. We spend quite a bit of time around the apartment just being lazy. It's exactly what we wanted!
I was supposed to start Japanese lessons tomorrow but instead of class we're having a "Cherry Blossom viewing" picnic at the park. Hopefully I'll get to meet my teacher and choose a book. I'm not sure if the Cherry Blossoms have bloomed yet. Most students have told us that it will still be a couple of weeks 'til they are in bloom. I guess I'll know tomorrow.
I went to yoga again today. It was a true workout this time. Heather, Martina and I were all sweating. I've decided to go to yoga twice a week rather than just once a week. This will force me to get up early and actually do something active.

We also received another care package. This was a big one from our friends Ashleigh and Tim in New York City (Thanks guys!). We could not believe our eyes when we opened the box. We were very happy with the items in the box.

Also, Nick and I have found a new cheap snack. For those of you who knew me a little better you know that I'm not a big fan of meat in particular hot dogs. The curious thing about living abroad is that anything that resembles "home" is welcomed. In this case, I have a newfound appreciation for corn dogs!!! Yep, they are at every convenient store in Japan. They even serve them with a ketchup and mustard packet that dispenses equal amounts of each on the "dog". Even though I'd never think of these back home now we both actually sometimes 'crave' them.
