Philly Cheese Steak, at Philadelphia

For lunch, I really wanted to try the local food and see what the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich really tasted like in Philly. It doesn't look pretty, but when I sunk my teeth into a freshly toasted Philly Cheese Steak on a hoagie bun, I was really blown away by how tasty it was! I would say that the secret is in the meat. It was so delicious, it can't be described. You would have to taste it for yourself.

Worse Case Scenario Possible... Well Pretty Close.

The flight from Japan to the east coast was very tiresome I must say. I'm completely exhausted. It is 0700 in the morning and it is approaching my bedtime. The airport lost my luggage and I have no clean clothes or underwear. I stink. I had to quickly adjust to driving on the 'right' side of the road again at 10 o'clock at night, in unfamiliar territory without a road map. I printed out a map from Google, but that didn't help me any because it was so dark! I couldn't use it as reference while I drove. The traffic signs in the states, for the first time, seemed totally unfamiliar. I got honked at for a few traffic violations and a semi-truck almost plowed me over for doing exactly the speed limit. 55MPH on a 55MPH highway. It took me about 1 1/2 hours to find the hotel when it is estimated to take 20 minutes. My east and west was confused. Nobody around here knows where Telford, PA is! Eventually, I found the Pennsylvania Turnpike that I was supposed to get on. The toll was a whole lot cheaper than I had expected. Only 75 cents. I didn't notice until later on that night that the toll booth guy only gave me a nickel in change after handing him a dollar. That PUNK! I think he did that on purpose. Dazed and confused, I'm afraid to leave my hotel.

Flight to Allentown, Pennsylvania

Nayeli Passed Out

You see, she hogs most of the bed, so I have to sleep on the edges. Soco says that she sleeps like me.... with my mouth open. My final meal in Japan

Hopping on to a small Jet in Chicago O'hare International

Rubik's Cube

It took me several hours to figure out the Rubik's Cube. The aligning the colors was hard, but aligning the center block was the hardest. The Rubik's Cube displayed is the Nagasaki Cube.

As of Saturday, April 21, 2007, Nayeli is scooting!

Forget crawling, scooting is an easier way to move around if you don't have very strong arms. Nayeli has been crawling all day and so far, we have failed in the child proofing inspection. Nayeli has managed and figured out how to open and close doors. So much for child proofing only one room. We have to child-proof everything!

Beach Cleanup

Rock Paper Scissors


Today, we went to the beach to clean pick up trash. The Japanese Self Defense Force was there also. I was kinda shocked to see that all of these guys were kids! Roughly 16-17 year olds. They dug up big holes and buried the seaweeds. It was fun.

These guys demonstrated great teamwork. They switched out every 2 minutes to keep the themselves from tiring out from shoveling.
