BUSTED

Okay, so for those of you who read the blog for Saturday where we'd gone out to see if we could find this house we're interested in, WE ARE BUSTED!!!

I spoke to our Fudosan (Realtor) yesterday, and he said, "I saw your family, your husband, your son and you in Mabori Kaigan on Saturday." 

All we were doing there, besides finding toilets, was taking pictures of this house we're technically not supposed to know about.

The Fudosan cannot release any info. on this place until the current occupants notify him that they are leaving.  We found out info. from a friend who said, "I know who he's talking about, and which house it is!"  With that information, we went and searched out the house.  So much for being stealthy with a 4 year old screaming, "I want an AMERICAN toilet!" 
We just want to be on this walking path... it is so much easier to find a place when cars aren't whizzing past you by mere inches.  

The speed limits here are pretty slow, compared to the US, but the roads are a bit narrower.  
William got to 'go by himself' to a play date yesterday.  He only had to go down 2 floors, and the mom called as soon as he got there.  Ah, to have the liberation from one's parents!  

I'm planning on cooking here at the hotel each night until William can behave again at a restaurant.  He had gotten upset with us and threw a fuss the other night.  Tim took him outside and probably annoyed all the smokers with the sound pollution.  Hey, fair's fair.  They're polluting the air.  It's a stiff ocean breeze, so you rarely smell it, even if they're 5 feet away.  I think William is noticing the power of embarrassing the parents in public.  

William loves music.  There's one program on the computer that he loves.  He can make the music change a bit.  Yesterday, when writing a letter to my mom, he put musical notes on the letter.  I was pretty impressed.  We've not talked about music with him.  One of his school friends, Grace, is taking piano lessons.  William likes to bang on things to figure out their sounds.  Most of the walls here are concrete, and so there's not a lot of boom per knock.

Tim and I are still giggling about getting 'caught.'  I'm wondering if the Fudosan doesn't live nearby.  I never even saw him!
