This is my first post from America since . . . well . . . March, I think! I'm in the States now on vacation enjoying some time with friends and family. I spent the first 1/3 in Eugene, Oregon; the second 1/3 in Portland, Oregon; and I leave for the final 1/3 in San Jose, California tomorrow morning. Thanks for everybody who hosted me, and sorry that I couldn't see everybody in Portland that I wanted to.
Happy New Year / ake mashite omedetou gozaimasu!
and God's blessings for the new year!
