Not too much has happened since my last post. I spent the New Year Holiday with some friends, attended a cheese party, and hiked Mount Takao. The above picture is the view from the top; it is a picture of the famous Mt. Fuji. The hike was a steep one, but is well visited, has many parts paved, provides shopping and restaurants along the way, and even the occasional vending machine. I'm told all hiking in Japan is not so commercialized.
I've spent the last few days trying to recover from a horrible cold that I can't seem to shake. I can't be out for more than a few hours without becoming very tired, dizzy, and feverish, and so have felt somewhat home-bound as of late. I will begin my second half of language classes Tuesday, so I am hoping to be in tip-top shape by then. It has been a wonderful thing for my brain to have a bit of a rest from the onslaught of vocabulary and grammatical rules, but I am excited to get back into it.
I hope you all are well. Thanks so much for all of the Christmas newsletters, family photos, and updates. You are all my connection with that side of the world.
