My 2014
resolutions are many with which I won’t bore the reader(s?). But I will say
that a blog has long been on my mind. Just a blurb and a picture a day to keep
the blues away J With family and friends scattered in
Brazil and US (and soon to be somewhere “chilly”), it seems like a good idea finally
to make this happen. I won’t go to great lengths to catch up on the last… hmmm,
well… 8 years (?) although there are some random older posts – proof that this
is indeed not a new project. Anyhow, jump in and enjoy the ride.
With that said,
we celebrated the first day of the new year by continuing a family tradition
established last year – we visited the Hawai’i Kotohira Jinsha – Hawai’i Dazaifu
Tenmangu, a local Shinto shrine.
With Jonas’s
ties to Japan and my own increasing interest of Japanese culture and language,
it seemed like the natural choice of family tradition that exposes the boys to
other culture’s ways of celebrating holidays. They had fun throwing coins and
ringing bells.
