who's who?

Dear Mom,

Last week, you said you couldn't keep the names of my friends straight.

It's understandable, Japanese names have too many vowels and are

always 3 syllables too long for me to remember!

So, this post is for you (complete w/ pics & names.)

I'm so lucky, these ladies are incredible...

And to the lovelies, pictured below, and reading this now:

You have made my experience in Japan unforgettable!!!

Love, Anne
