Thanks Maria! The peaches were divine and I say that as someone who’s lived on the border of SC!

What a lovely story. Among other things, it demonstrates what a hospitable and gracious person Kazumi-san is. I hope one day to see Kazumi-san riding her motorcycle!

She really is so gracious and hospitable! I also want to see her ride her motorcycle. Maybe one day… !

Another beautifully written piece, Emi. This article made me hungry 🤤 I enjoy seeing and reading about Japan from your perspective. I think it is such an amazing experience go to a different country and have someone that lives that is willing to do just this — give you unforgettable memories and a sense of belonging. Looking forward to reading week 3!
