     Recently, our neighbors travelled to Japan.  On their trip they picked up some things for our homeschooing family.  One very interesting thing were little bottles of sand.  not just any sand, but star shaped sand.  I am sorry to say I don't have a pic of that.  It is the only beach in the world that has this type of sand.  However, one of the most fun parts of their presentation to us, was the food.  They picked up all sorts of candy and chips from the gas stations there.  We tried them all.  Very different from American snacks.  Their chocloate is delicious, and not nearly as sweet as ours.  But other things were a surprise, like the chips that tasted like seaweed. 

We are so grateful to have such wonderful neighbors who think of us often.  Here are a few pics of teh wrappers from some of the treats.
