Here is a video of my trip with my mom and Elliott, a French-Canadian student, and his mom to Shimonoseki. This is the city on the southern tip of Honshu, the biggest Island. It is in Yamaguchi Prefecture, the one I live in. And, it is the biggest city in the Prefecture, followed by the city I live in, Yamaguchi City. Shimonoseki was originally founded as a town to protect the Shimonoseki Straits which are between Honshu and Kyushu, the Southernmost of the four islands. In the 1850s the batteries here fired on the American ships trying to enter Japan.
We go to a fish market, find a Totoro store, and take the ferry from Honshu to Kyushu. Enjoy!

Good video Beth. I could pick out your voice among all the others. Sounds like you're having fun and learning at the same time. Stay safe. Love Aunt Robin
Loved your video beth. Miss you so much, but what a wonderful opportunity. I know you'll make the most of it. Have fun. Love Mom Neal
Beth,
We viewed your video. It's very good and you are so cute in your kimono. Grandpa says he hopes your kimono doesn't fade or wear out, and don't choke on a fish bone! Love Grandma and Grandpa
