Some photos

The beach at Shima. Lots of people were surfing but the waves weren't so big. I got sunburned
(surprise!) but thankfully Japan has the aloe vera.

This is my desk at school in the teacher's room, which is perhaps one of the only places on the whole campus which is air conditioned. This makes up for not having much to do this week at work, because, as I've mentioned 304 thousand times, it's hot and humid here. Really. You would have to experience it to know what I'm talking about. You have a version of hot and humid, but this version is worse (I'm speaking here to my friends and family in Oregon ... surely there are places much hotter out there, such as the inside of a volcano).

I'm not sure what this river-stream-creek is called, but I cross over it every time I head to the post office, the train station or the busier more happening parts of Ise-shi.

I've been bad about taking photos; it's probably because I feel no sense of urgency since I'm not leaving after a couple weeks. I'll get more photos of other things up later. For now, good day. How is America?
