Marnie Jorenby spends her summer in Japan, in an attempt to help with reconstruction after the earthquake. At the same time, she is teaching English at Kobe Jogakuin High School, in a totally different part of the country. Her boys are to arrive in June and spend the second two of three months with her.

Sidestop
The charming young woman pictured with Ben (I lost her name) accompanied us to Takkon Daycare in Ofunato, where we did a project with some kids. We arrived in the town early, though, so she suggested we go and see Goishi Beach on Matsuzaki Penninsula. It's called Goishi Beach because the pebbles are especially round and look like Japanese Go (a board game) pieces. She was worried that Goishi Beach might have been struck by the tsunami, but we found it largely unscathed. The rocks were just like she said, smooth and beautiful. Funny, in the areas with no human habitation the tsunami just came and went, leaving little trace.
