Shimoda

In October we did a family trip to Shimoda.  

The highlight was feeding the dolphins at Shimoda aquarium.  Thanks to Ma-chan for these photos.

We stayed at a lovely hotel at Yumigahama near the beach.

Clever Rika managed to book us seats at the front of the Romance Car.  Hannah was very excited to have a train-driver's view.

Very Hungry Caterpillar

Or rather 'hara-peko ao-mushi'.

These videos are Hannah singing the japanese song-version of 'Very Hungry Caterpillar'.   We think she is copying the Miss Kuriyama from school. 

And a real Ao-mushi ('green insect') from earlier in the summer.
