Though we are on vacation our friends in Japan are not. Ichihara-san and her friends drove all the food and water we and many others have helped collect to the Tohoku area. You can find pictures and descriptions here (Japanese only).
I have also added a Tohoku Donation page where you can donate money for food and water that will go to the Tohoku area. The idea is that you should be able to follow your money from your pocket to exactly what they were used for and when.
I got a message from the pharmacy yesterday. They’ve got some iodine now. Are you still interested in it?
Thank you for checking, but it turns out we are too old for the iodine to be useful. Better save it for some kids.
