First Impressions

Hania worked today, so my first day in Mikame was spent alone, wandering the mountain roads on her bike. I spent most of my time trying to figure out how the town is arranged, which is tricky because Mikame is actually a central town surrounded by a number of fishing villages to the north and south, each of which is on the same large bay. We are living in Nigyu, about 5 minutes north of Mikame. The picture here shows Hania's house on the lower-left. It's the white, two-storey apartment building behind the school. It's really nice here, lots of forest, farms, beaches, mikans, and tons of bugs. This is a beetle I saw today in the forest. This place is definitely a welcome change from the city.
