6/21/2015 Schools, looong walk

Yong had made an appointment for us to visit the local public school.  Jef had been making noises about actually sending them to school for a week, but it was going to be too hard to arrange.

The principal gave us a little tour of the 3rd and 6th grades.  Basically, it was a school.  Quite drab, there wasn't much on the walls, desks lined up by twos. Kids well behaved, but little whispers, nudges, etc.

Jef read some essays about the children's day that Branwen's age group had done and said B's class had done better, which surprised us.

Then we crossed the road to St. Maur's where Yong works.  It is a private school where English is the primary language.  Much more lively looking classrooms.

We said goodbye and walked through parks along the Yokohama waterfront.

Another bride

This is for Alexa.  The woman held the pose forever.

We stopped at Pompador for a very late lunch, went to a Manga store (I carry my knitting so I can amuse myself during this stuff.) and Yong picked us up.
