i actually left boston two weeks ago, so to catch you up to speed, i may have to be an overactive blogger for the next few days. i'm sure you will all diligently read each new post.
first catch-up item:
i intentionally had a 7-hour layover in L.A. so that i could hang out with katelyn and natalie, two of my friends who i lived with in india 3 years ago!
we had a delightful thai dinner in pasadena before my flight to auckland, NZ.
we decided we needed the sumo wrestlers to feature more prominently in our photo.
this was a meaningful choice for two reasons:
1. i was born in japan. posing with sumo wrestlers allows me
to reconnect to my roots.
2. i was on my way to meet many samoans in fiji.
samoans were always the best sumo wrestlers in japan.
I am so honored that a photo of us would be featured in your very first blog post! I had no idea how meaningful the painting was to you - I am glad the second photo was suggested. ;)
