Today was a wet and cloudy day in San Francisco. President Teschemacher and the San Francisco supervisors gave the people on board the USS Powhatan a tour of their city. After the wonderful tour, the ambassadors went back to their rooms in the International Hotel to rest. Later on in the day, at meal time, we ate delicious American foods at the hotel but I was especially happy when I saw bean-curd at a Chinese shop. It reminded me of home. I miss Japan; I long to finish up the ambassador business and return home to Edo where I could eat bean-curd all day. This was a very good experience but sometimes I just want to return home.
I feel the same way sometimes. Don't worry! I believe we should be going home soon.
