My wife (Candice-Sensei) has been fighting off a nasty cold. She faught off a terrible fever a couple days ago but sadly has not shaken off her fatigue. I have transformed into Nurse Gary to assist my awesome wife. I poured some ginger tea with lemon into her favorite mug. If she was hungry, I made her a quick soup. I was thrilled to see her having her soup. Candice-Sensei having her appetite back is a good sign! I literally begged her to not try and do anything around the house. She's a tough cookie, she still tried but after all my begging she stayed in bed. Victory! Today she was smiling more and now her aches are gone. I'm relived that she is getting her strength back! I don't feel complete when she's sad, hurting or sick. As the old saying goes, "Happy wife, Happy Life!" I'm happy that she is doing much better!   

On Sunday, my friends and I went to an island called Ibukijima. We had lots of adventures, thanks to this cool guy that we met. He's a local artist who lives on the island. I was sorry to say that I didn't catch his name.

We were impressed by how cool he looked--like a Dragonball Z character! I told him this and he posed for us, even took a kamahameha photo with Michael! After showing us a few more neat things, he started to become our personal tour guide. People were visiting the island to see the Setouichi art festival and we had broken away from the crowds that we started with. This was totally okay.

Our tour guide showed us his house, a restaurant, and a big chair that he made. This sounds pretty funny but it's actually a bench with a cover.


He helped me up there with a ladder. It's not really for sitting on!

Cami and I had just enough Japanese skill to understand our tour guide. It was a day I'll never forget!
