Thank you again to all of the Noto families and volunteers for hosting us.

This ceremony was held at their botanical gardens. Another great feast of food and fun. All cooked by yourself on the indoor barbecue grills. Fun with song and dance and taiko drumming.

Afterwards we went off the planetarium to gaze up into the stars above to see the planets. What great timing for the weather to clear up into a perfect night for stargazing. Its like it was timed. The day had been cloudy and overcast, but it seemed like someone knew to make the clouds disappear to make the whole event close perfectly.

Next morning it was time to say good bye. We met with the mayor who thanked us for visiting, and we thanked him and his staff for planning and hosting us.

And then off to the Noto Royal hotel for the large Summit closing ceremony.

Thank you Noto!
