Japan Days

Apparently I can either take a picture a day or blog, but not both well. We had a full work week and vacation feels far far away.

This week at Canadian Academy, were Japan Days. There were many different activities at all grade levels celebrating Japanese culture.

Yesterday, Maximo pounded mochi with his Japanese teachers:

Today he and I dressed up in our finest Japanese clothing. He wore Japananese (yukata) pajamas and I wore a kimono (untraditionally) as an open jacket. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures. I'm hoping his teacher did, so I can steal the pictures!

Who are Los Lemleys?

Los Lemleys are John, Julie, Maximo and Lola. We're currently living on Rokko Island in Kobe, Japan. Here we write about our happenings and share photos of our life abroad.

We started blogging in 2007 when we had to keep family and friends updated on what was going on with our premature baby.

Over a year later, we transitioned from the Lo Maximo blog to Los Lemleys where you'll find vignettes of our lives as we travel, move, teach, and raise our third culture kids.

Disclaimer: This is NOT a cultural or literary masterpiece, nor is it intended to be. It's a way for us to document our adventures for our family and friends. It'll hopefully be something Maximo & Lola can look back on, since their baby book is a bit bare and she only has a meager folder with ultrasound photos and a legal document or two.
