1st Place

Hello once again! I had the swimming competition this past weekend. I placed first in the breast stroke and backstroke for my age group! The mayor of Kumagaya handed out the certificates...it was truly a wonderful feeling. I didn't think I could get first. I got third in the freestyle but they only award the first places for the adult categories. It was really funny listening to them pronounce my name! I am always called debitto-san. I am getting used to it. I had rocky road ice cream today! It has been so long...we have a Baskin Robbins in one of the malls here. Although they call it 31, not Baskin Robbins. It was a great weekend overall. Hope everything is good in America. Have a good one guys!
