Sharon and Marty visit


Mike's sister Sharon and her husband Marty came for a visit--their first overseas trip. They were really game and we took them to the Ichiba where you can look at your food in the eye and pick it out while it's still moving before they prepare it for you. We had a great time and our hope is those great times can continue forever.
