I head over to the hotel to meet the others and discover that a change of plans is contemplated; today's weather is wonderful, warm and dry, and the rest of the week is supposed to be colder and wet. None of us really want to repeat last Thursday, so we elect to do one school tour (Lincoln Elementary) instead of three, as originally planned, and then head out for sightseeing. |
We are all seriously tired; it's time to head back to St. Charles for bed. We will meet early tomorrow to drive to the state capitol, Jefferson City. |
Oh, yes, my Japanese partners have presented more gifts, for myself and for our school. A beautiful pressed-flower picture/placemat and a hand-painted traditional folding Japanese fan for me, and origami papers and small hand toys often used by Japanese children for students in my school. And, a beautiful lacquerware clock, which we will display at school for all to see. |
