Day 12 & 13: プロ野球観戦とお別れ Twins Game and Saying Goodbye
Hello!
今日は伊方中学海外派遣団の最後のアメリカでの一日でした。午前中は荷造りのため何も予定が入れてなかったですが、午後からはレッドウィング市から1時間半ぐらい離れているミネアポリスという大都会でプロ野球の試合を観戦しました。派遣生は荷物をとても上手に造って、しかも重量がアンダーでしたので、時間通りに出発する事ができましたが、車の渋滞でぎりぎりと試合開始時刻に間に合いました。
とても楽しい試合でしたが、応援していたツインズの勝ちだったかどうかは今日の記事を最後まで読まないとだめです。^^ たくさんのコメントを待っています。

今日も伊方中学海外派遣団はレッドウィング市でとても充実とした時間を過ごす事ができました。レッドウィング市役所を訪問し、レッドウィング警察署を見学した後、伊方派遣生は夕方のポットラック・ディナーの為に日本の食べ物を頑張って作っておきました。調理が思ったより時間がかかったという事で、8時前ぐらいジョンソンさんの家で集合して、パーティーがはじまりましたが、とても美味しくて量が多かったのでパーティーが遅く始まった事をすぐ忘れ、楽しく過ごせる事がでしました。
The Ikata students spent another wonderful day in Red Wing today. After visiting Red Wing City Hall and the Red Wing Police Department, they headed off to make some Japanese food for the potluck dinner tonight. Things didn't end up getting started until about 8pm that night because cooking took a bit longer than usual but there was so much food and it was so good that soon we all forgot about the late start and started having a blast.
There are plenty of pictures today. I look forward to hearing you comments and feel free to leave any questions you may have as well.
