We still have not arrived in San Francisco. I am getting quite impatient. Today, the public is able to visit the Kanrin Maru. I hope the ship is still there when I arrive becaues I also wish to see it. I heard that a sailor died on the ship yesterday. I wonder how he died. Anyway, in about ten days, we will arrive in San Francisco. I wonder how the citizens of San Francisco will react to us. They have already been accustomed to foreigners because of the arrival of the Kanrin Maru but this time, the Japanese Embassy is coming. I say they should be at least a little excited. I am, I can't wait untill I am able to set foot on American land. Looking at the same ocean all day for weeks can get tiring and boring. I also get sick and dizzy a lot at sea.
Until then, basically nothing else will happen. I am hoping that we can arrive in San Francisco in a timely manner.
ReplyDeleteI also wish you make it back on time
