After such an eventful day on Sunday, the next day passed like a blur, so this post will be short. I spent time sweeping the mud off of a sidewalk before the entire team got together to go all-out in mudding out a man's house. We worked for at least four hours shoveling and hauling mud out and not much else. But we got a lot done and were glad to put in a good day's work.
The day after that, we packed up and left for the eight hour ride back. That also passed like a blur and before we knew it, we were back in Tokyo where I promptly went to sleep. Going to Touhoku was really an amazing experience. It's been exciting, depressing, and exhausting. It wasn't what I would call "fun," but it was definitely a good thing to have done and I wouldn't want to have spent my summer any other way.
It's been about a month since I got back, and I'm currently doing the last minute preparations for another team. The teams keep getting bigger with sixteen people for this one. I'll be in the same area but probably doing different things. The Mehns are going to America, so I'll be the only one who has had experience with this there. I'll be gone for the next ten days. I hope this trip will be as memorable as the first one! Thank you for reading!
