Yesterday and Today in Alabama

Here in Alabama is very hot, and the weather makes me tired. Yesterday's temperature was 93 dgree F, and it killed me. In the hot weather, my Alabaman friends and I went to Space and Rocket Center in Huntvile.

I have watched the NASA station several times on TV, but it was my first time to see real American rockets, engines and many things. It was so cool for me. I really thought if my daughter were there, she would be interested in the stuff and enjoyed it. I saw a lot of American kis were camping there, and I thought it was really good for kids to make be interested in science. Japanese childrends are less interested in sicence, and I'm one of them who are worried about it. I thought we also should have such kind of programs in Japan.

Today, my friend, her friend and I went to a Thai restaurant and her friend intruded me her Japanese art friend. She is a water color painter and have been strugging with becoming a better painter. She and I became a good friends. After eatiing our lunch at the Thai restaurant, we went to an art museum, antiquing and shopping. Meeting her made me very happy because I could speak in Japanese for a while! Although I couldn't find any interesting antiques, I bought a matching cup and saucer set of Herend, Hungary. I bought it for a half price of the price tag, and it made my day!!!
