Holt at an Abashiri Barbeque

Here's a shot of Holt blowing bubbles at the unexpected barbeque we found ourselves invited to. Turns out a group of folks from the Abashiri board of education (I think they were in the Social Education department) were having a barbecue at the same place where we had rented our cottage. When the man who works at the placed we camped found out I was an English teacher, he suggested we join the group. I guess he made a few phone calls and next thing we new, we were scheduled to attended a barbecue with a group of folks we didn't know. As Aaron put it, though, "No big deal. We're used to that by now." It was a bit chilly, so one of the men loaned Holt this jacket.

More later.
