Hello everyone!
It’s that time of the year again for the rainy season to begin. Yes, sticky, muggy weather is heading our way. One thing to look forward to is … fireflies! Also known as lightning bugs, fireflies are easily seen in Shiga, where I live. Back home in Mexico, in the city of Nanacamilpa, Tlaxcala, you can visit one of several firefly sanctuaries, less than a two hour drive from Mexico City. Fireflies can be seen from the end of June to early August, so if you love bugs as much as I do you may want to consider visiting México soon.
Speaking of Mexico, I’ve been feeling great recently, partly because summer is heading our way but mostly because my big sister came to visit a couple of weeks ago. This was actually her second time in Japan. She and her husband first came back in 1984. They then visited Tokyo and she clearly remembers things being crazy expensive at the time. This time however she found most everything reasonable if not cheap. First they visited Osaka and Kyoto before coming to Shiga. They stayed three days with us. At first my wife was terrified that there wasn’t much to do and see near us. However, we ended up just talking for three days straight, almost nonstop, catching up on thirty year’s worth of family news and gossip. One wonderful souvenir she brought from Mexico was a colorful handmade table runner, with typical Mexican designs. My wife liked it so much, she decided to put it up so that it doesn’t get dirty. Looks great doesn’t it?
