Gota household

I can't thank the Gota family enough for letting me stay with them for those few days. I hope they enjoyed my company there as much I did theirs. Hide, Sarako, Shotaro, obachan, and ojichan.

They have a nice house near the hillside with many rice fields surrounding their property. Anyways, thank you again to them for all the food they prepared and accomodations they provided.

I'm hoping they can come to visit us in Hawaii.
