Ice cream rally update: Both Hideaki and Yukari have filled one card with ten stamps. I forgot to ask them if they were going to start a second card.
People had some very bad days. Some people talked about car accidents, knee injuries and so on. We then listened to the tape for the book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst. Everyone said it was too fast, but it was just natural. I then read it and people were able to catch a little more.
The homework is to make a collage of your summer vacation. Hideaki said he doesnt' have a vacation, so I told him to make one of his dream vacation. Please add a comment 10:32:41 AM

Miyuki is going to be in a gospel concert tonight in Taiki. There is a gospel group touring Hokkaido giving performances and workshops. I wish I had time to go hear them this evening. I was surprised that Masako didn't promote her husband's exhibition at the Centennial Museum next week. It starts on August 3 and runs until the 10th.
We continued talking about apartments and did an exercise practicing the patterns we learned in the conversation. In looking for a house or and apartment you sometimes have to make trade offs--give up this, in order to get that. The homework is to do the reading exercise and the review. The reading talks about different types of housing. There are many kinds for example straw bale, underground, recycled materials and if you look on the net you will find more.
