Bonding through Tacos

Mexican taco picnic
After going to the tea ceremony (read the blog below before you read this one), we had our nice little Mexican taco picnic in such a beautiful and serene place. Why tacos at a Japanese festival and for a picnic? Well, because we all like tacos no matter how messy and un-Japanese they are. In fact, 'messy' was the new English word for the day.
We all ended up having the time of our lives together. The Community Center women really enjoyed getting to know some new foreigners and I know that Blake and Ali had the time of their lives. How could we not have a good time considering that Yoko made a great first impression with Blake and Ali by giving them chocolate souveniers from a trip that she recently made to South Korea. It wouldn't have been so bad except that they were trick chocolates with spicey pepper flavoring in the middle!
All-in-all, we ended with Blake vowing revenge on Yoko, Blake being given the nickname of Harry Potter, Mariko making sure Ali didn't fall into the water that ran under the really small rock bridge we had to cross to get to our picnic spot, everybody bonding over a tea ceremony and a taco picnic, and promises being made that we would all do this again in the near future.
Praise God for continuing to open doors, especially in such an enjoyable manner.
