Yesterday Nozomi & I spent the day at her parents' house. Her sister, uncle and aunt were also visiting to celebrate her Grandmother's return home from the hospital (and our birthdays). She's doing very well; thank you, everyone who prayed for her!
Nozomi's mother asked us to stop and buy big platters of take-out sushi from a restaurant. On a side trip to the grocery store, I learned a new vocabulary word; I wanted smoked salmon, which is usually easy to find in the deli section. I didn't see any, and then realized I didn't know how to say smoked salmon in Japanese. I tried, "Smoked salmon arimasu-ka?", and after about a one-second pause, the staff person figured out what I wanted and showed me--it was in the fresh fish section, and I'd walked right past it twice. I looked at the package label and it said "スモク サモン" (sorry, you won't be able to read that if you don't have Japanese installed; alphabetica lly "su-moh-ku-sah-moh-n"). Some things are easier than I think they'll be...
We had a great, relaxing day with family.
