The weather improved for the post-Christmas pre-New Year’s interlude, and we managed to get outside a few times.  Pictures here.

Long after anyone but me cares, Ebi finally found his way home, a distant last place in the Great Sushi Race!  Ebi is a Travel Bug launched in Yokohama in November 2005 with instructions to willing souls to move him even closer to our neighborhood cache.

On his journey, he traveled 8060 miles over 416 days, visited 15 caches in three countries (Japan, South Korea, USA), but despite this feat, failed to earn his doting owner a sushi dinner.

I’m hoping reigning champion FutoMaki will be up for a rematch in 2007!  Keep your eye out for Great Sushi Race - the Sequel!
