Hello - I've been out most of this week doing various things for work, but on one of my rides here and there, I stopped to take a photo of this flower that's blooming now, higanbana. It's really lovely, and it seems to just sprout up everywhere in white, cream, and red. I believe the name has something to do with sparklers/fireworks.

And I'm doing my level best to be as genki as I can, but as the second memorial day for Mom approaches, I'm just feeling like I've lost a lot more than just my mom, and it's really wearing me down. Sorry in advance if I'm a little quiet for a while.

Glad to see everything has continued to go well for you over there. I actually just moved back to Florida. I'm curious, what year are you on now, how much longer do you have on the JET program? Are you coming back to Florida soon? Hope all is well,

Jon,

Hey there - hisashiburi! This is my third year and final year. After this - not quite sure yet, but living closer to my boyfriend and living in a place that has mountains and seasons (besides hurricane and tourist!) are high on the list of priorities. So it doesn't look like I'll be back in soFLa...
Hope all goes well for you!
