Travel to Kyoto! Students again!

Today we met back up with our students!

I was so excited to see their smiling faces again!
All the students seemed to have a amazing time on home stay and I'm so glad they were able to have that opportunity.

Students who were nervous wrecks on Friday were now smiling happy and comfortable students who told me they didn't want to leave their host families (Jordan, Hayley, and Lizzi in particular!).

Students were excited to swap their tales with one another, although their smiles dampened a bit when the bus departed from Setagaya, with all of their families waving them off.

Once the students got re-acquainted, they were back to their old tricks. The "Watch your head" jokes to poor little Tess will never get old, neither will Kaleb's dance moves and Hayley's singing.

After catching a bus to Shin-Yokohama Station, we bought ourselves an ekiben (train station obento) each and rode the bullet train to Kyoto.

Today we are going to have a relaxing day at our new hostel, in preparation for our full day tour tomorrow. Gotta give students a chance to rest those sore feet (teachers too!).
