A muggy weekend …
I spent today catching up with a few friends and updating them on what life was like on Miyake after the ash and steam eruptions. I also shared with them details of my summer field season. It was a relaxing day though Tokyo is much more humid and hot ('mushiatsui') than Miyake and Mikura Islands. I also spent a bit of time planning my presentation for Tuesday. I leave tomorrow for Mie and Mie University. I am riding something new … the Shinkansen Bullet Train. I am looking forward to the experience. The process of finalizing this field season with my presentation on Tuesday afternoon and completing my report to JSPS. I also will make copies of my data forms and notes. Always good to have two copies of precious information. I will update you all on how my Japanese presentation is received. I hope you have a great Sunday. Cheers Kathleen
