Howdy everyone!

I haven't posted much in the past week and half because we have been hosting a group from Japan at the park I work at and they have been keeping me very busy. I've just been too tired to get on here at night and no time at lunch during the day. However, I do have a few minutes now.

I just found out yesterday that I have been invited to travel to Japan next month as part of the delegation that is going to Chiba for the 35th Anniversary of the Houston-Chiba Sister City Program. I am very excited about it and of course one of the first things I though of was whether or not I'd be able to find any bananas in Japan! M. basjoo (Japanese Fiber Banana) is supposed to be naitive to Japan so I am hoping to spot some. It would be sweet to be able to bring something back, but I'm not sure how that would work with customs. I'll have to ask the Japanese folks who I will be traveling with. Anyhow, wish me luck. Maybe I'll come back with something interesting.

Glad to be back amongst my nanner buddies! I missed you guys (and girls)!
