Plan B for the weekend

The plan for this weekend was very simple, go camping to the beach with a group of foreigners, but we had a small problem as you can see (refer to weather map below):


There was a typhoon right on top of our camping site!!! GREAT!! I had spend all week preparing for this trip. I had bought all the camping gear necessary since we had left all of that stuff in storage. I had even packed the car and was dressed ready to go on Friday night. Needless to say I was very disappointed not to go, but who wants to be cold, wet and trapped in a tent for 2 nights and 3 days? I don't, so we decided not to go.

We soon realized that everyone else who was supposed to go camping stayed home and then we came up with plan B. Camping at our apartment. Our friends already had food ready to go so we borrowed the neighbors BBQ and called everyone up. Here is Lance making some Kabobs (pinchos in Spanish) with his little helper Anna (yes Anna with 2 n's it's in German not in Spanish). Everyone brought all their camping food and drinks and we all ate it under a nice comfortable roof!!!! The good thing was we finally used our new dining room table!!! Very exiting. If the picture below looks like it was taken by a nine year old, your right!! I think it turned out really good and shows the diversity of the non-Japanese community here. There was people from the United Kingdom, Argentina, Germany, American (with Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese heritage) and Puerto Rico off course.
