Some of the food I had at the buffet.

I really loved the white dolphin

今日は管理本部の遠足でした。全職員の半分が今日で残りの半分は来週ということになっています。管理本部からバスに乗って横浜方面へ向い、海ほたる（休憩所）、横浜ロイヤルパークホテル『シリウス』でのランチバイキング（70階で！）、横浜八景島シーパラダイスと一日楽しく過ごしました。先週は妹の結婚式の披露宴でものすごい食べ、今日はランチバイキングでものすごい食べ、まじ苦しい。貧乏性は困ります。八景島では海洋動物たちにとても癒されました。

It was an office outing day. Half of the church office employees went today and the other half will go next week. We rode on a bus from the church office, and drove towards Yokohama area. On the way to Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise (aquarium), we stopped at Umihotaru (parking area with many shopps and stuff) and went to Yokohama Royal Park Hotel for lunch buffet (on the 70th floor!). Man, I had so much food just like I did on my sister's wedding reception last week! When I see food, I can't help it. The aquarium was awesome. The sea animals were so fun and soothing.

妹の結婚式 My Sister's Wedding

5月16日はわたしの妹の結婚式でした。すでに2月に入籍していたけれど式は妹が仕事をやめてからということで後になりました。とてもきれいで幸せそうなお嫁さんでした。

My sister and her husband had their wedding reception on the 16th. They got married back in February, but waited to have the celemony and reception until after my sister quit her job. She looked so happy and beautiful .

今年は突然決めて、またアメリカ旅行に行ってきました。日本の生活にすっかり慣れてしまって、アメリカのすべての物のサイズの大きさにあらためてビックリしました。今回は10日間の旅で短かくて、すべての友達にあるのは難しかったけれど、時間をとって会ってくれた友達ありがとう！会えなかった友達ごめんなさい！でもまた必ず行くよ！！

I just came back from the U.S. trip which I decided a week before I left Japan. I'm so used to living in Japan and had forgotten how big everything was in the States!! This time, I only had 10 days to spend, and there wasn't enough time to see everybody, but I'm grateful for my friends who took their time to see me. To those I didn't get to see you, I'm sorry, but I will come again!!
