This blog has been created to serve as a historical document not only to show the destruction and wreckage left behind by the tsunami but also, as I return again and again, to show the steps toward recovery. It is our hope that through the photos, this blog will show how overcoming even grand disaster is possible.


Tohoku will not lose!

Kamaishi June 12th/13th

I went with a friend, who has family in kamaishi, to kamaishi!
We stayed at his grandparents house.
We left kanto area around 11:00pm on June 11th. We arrived at kamaishi on June 12th at 11:00am.
We strait went to some shelters to offer our bike fixing service!
We fixed bicycles all day at a couple of shelters.

That evening we had sushi with my friends family! Yummy!
Than we went out for a night walk to enjoy the natural sounds at the bottom of the mountains!

June 13th

First we went to kamaishi daikanon( I hope I spelled it right ) to get some lucky charms.
After that we asked the volunteer Center where we could help today.
They sent us to a temple that needs to be cleaned up!
We helped until 3:30pm than everyone went back to the volunteer Center. There we fixed one more bike, and went home.
That night we had yakiniku for dinner. It was so delicious!
At 8:30pm my friend drove me back to the bus station in morioka.

It feels really good to help out here!
I will come back for sure!!!
