As many of you know, we are a "homestay" family to students from all over the world who come to the ELI at the U of D to study English.  Last summer, we had 3 wonderful girls spend time in our home from Kobe Shoin University in Japan. OUr time is usually very intense and filled with fun and lots of learning about each others cultures and languages.  Although we love having them with us, the good-byes are often difficult and filled with long farwells, tears and hopes to see each other again. Much to our pleasure and immense surprise 2 of "our girls" came "home". Welcome home Manami & Aoi, we love you!!
