Thanks, Roger, I'll check it out.

We are close to getting our plans together for going to the festival. We will fly down on July 24 and share a room with another of the Seafarers for four days. We only need a place to sleep and get cleaned up so the room can be pretty basic. I am curious about how that will turn out. I have great expectations about this festival.

Wakana has sequestered herself for the next few days. Her professor asked her to rewrite her Master's Thesis, consolidating it so he can get it published in one of the Japanese sociology journals. The due date is June 1 and she is hard at work. No more snorkeling until she gets that job done.
