We have not arrived in San Francisco yet. This trip is taking longer than i expected. I hope to finish all our buisness in America so we could go back to Edo. I love sitting on the deck and looking at the fantastic sea but life can get boring when people stay on a ship for so long. Today, the lucky Japanese people on the Kanrin Maru were officially accepted at City Hall in San Francisco. I heard the San Franciscans were very welcoming to the Japanese and gave them a grand ceremony. Afterwards, I heard they had dinner at Job's Hotel. The food must have been extremely delicious. I wish I could have been there. I wonder if there are beautiful American women attending the banquet. American women are an amusing people. I hope we arrive in San Francisco soon. I wish I could stop running to the bathroom after a big wave.
I wish the Powhatan would arrive here sooner as well. Your crew needs to see how beautiful San Francisco is!
