We decided since our prefecture if most famous for its udon, we'd eat some. There are udon restaurants on almost every corner it seems. Udon is a thick noodle, sort of like ramen except (I think) way better. There was even a movie called "Udon" which came out earlier this year, and during that time some of the talk shows had our prefecture featured as the hosts went around eating udon.
This shop looked nicer than some, and was near a park we were visiting. Udon's great beause it's only a few bucks per bowl. I posted a video of Colette playing with one of her Christmas toys, if the link doesn't work it will soon, just check back later.
And for old time's sake, remember this song from last year? Colette's voice has changed a lot since then.
Our friends Rick and Aileena have graciously offered us their last stamp on their train passes, so looks like we'll be taking a trip out of town, probably to Osaka. We're excited to see a big city, partly to eat Brazilian and/or Latin food, there are many restaurants there.

hi there! dave was sad to have missed your call on xmas day; he was sleeping (as he is now) and missed it by just a half hour. i keep reminding him to email you but you know how forgetful/procrastinating he and be. anyway, we both love you and happy new year!
Colette is so big! She seems tall and mature. I haven't figured out where the video is, but our slow modem probably wouldn't let it download anyway. We can't wait to come see you in Feb. Has John sent the itinerary? I'll have to make sure I have the most recent version--he sent several. Love,
