皆へ、
今日かも川に尺八を練習しに行きました。私の所は家から歩いてで四十五分かかりました、でもあそこ所は奇麗でしたよ。天気はとても良かったですよ。また私の画をやり直しました。

To everyone,
TOday I went to the Kamogawa to practice shakuhachi. From my place on foot it took 45min to get there, but it was a beautiful spot.　The weather was very nice. I resumed my drawings also.
Until next time,
Chris

I hope my Japanese isn't too bad. I'm still learning. I figured a good way would be to jump in head first. I've gotten to talk to a few people(in Japanese of course) and I can understand ok. I'll pick up more as time goes along. I asked someone for directions yesterday and he helped me and out I could pick out enough to know what he was saying. That was a fairly good experience. Anyway, I'm gonna spend the rest of today studying this and that.
