Today was another amazing day in Amakusa. We met the mayor and created and then painted pottery. Don't worry, there are pictures of all of us on the pottery wheel.
I visited a junior high to experience school lunch. The entire process was pretty amazing. All of the student come into the lunchroom and within a half hour, they serve each other, eat (they have to eat it all and it is a lot of food...ginger sardine, mushroom rice, salad, and fish balk soup...and milk), and clean up. Everyone eats school lunch in junior high and in high school, everyone brings their own lunch.
We left Amakusa this afternoon and I cried saying goodbye to my host family. They were the sweetest people and my host mother cried too. The entire two days in Amakusa are a blur, but they were amazing.
We took a dolphin watching boat across the water to meet the next Rotary club. The boat ride was hilarious...the water was really choppy and most of us were soaked by the time we arrived.
In the evening, we went to a Spanish restaurant and I tried escargot. It is delicious! We also got to experience Japanese drinking at it's finest...or maybe craziest would be a better word. :).
