Day 7- It has been a week


Today's post will be much shorter. I am in Yamaguchi City which is the capital of Yamaguchi prefecture. We flew here and will drive to Shimonoseki in the morning. Today we saw a 5-story pagoda and a shrine in Yamaguchi. I got some really great photos. Then we came to our hotel, went to bath in a hot spring and then got ready for dinner at a sushi restaurant. The sushi place has a little conveyor belt that goes around all of the tables and you pick the things you want up off of it. It is like a moving buffet that comes to you. Then you can order things on a computer that they send to you on a little mini bullet train. It was so cool. I had salmon, eel, shrimp, crab and a dessert. It was delicious. Tomorrow, we will visit a university and meet the mayor. I have to give a speech :( and then we go to Shimonoseki to check in to our hotel there. I will be at that hotel for 5 nights and then I will stay with my host family.
