Right after we arrived to Misawa, our sponsor picked us up and we headed to Misawa Air Base. We actually share this air force base with the japanese air force, so that is why they have a sign right next to ours. Their are mostly americans on the base, but their is a strong japanese presence. The town of Misawa has 40,000 people with 10,000 of them being Americans. We stayed in the tlf(temporary living facilities) for two weeks which felt like we were on a never ending vacation. It had a little kitchen, family room, and one bedroom with a washer and dryer down the hall. It wasn't too bad and Chase finally decided one night that he would start walking here. So that was a lot of fun. The picture with him and Cole's hat was taken right after he started walking (two weeks before he turned one). The last picture is our first experience at a restaurant in Japan with the Broughs and Farnsworths. It was a chinese restaurant over at a mall about 10 min. from our place, known as Shimoda or Aeon mall. When you order at restaurants around here, you don't know exactly what you are ordering since most menus are in japanese. But they do have pictures in the menus and they have the actual dishes of what you can order in their display windows which is a little different. Our meal was really good and Chase was enjoying it as well.
