Eri, Alameda, California - 1995
In 1995 we were asked to host a young girl from Chiba, Japan who was coming to the United States to study English. Little did we know that we were about to have an experience that would change our lives. Eri Yasukawa was just 19 years old, and she charmed us right from the start.
In the short time she was with us in Alameda, she fit right in with our family. She did her share of the work around the house and went with us to camera club and some of our other activities. She brought other Japanese kids to our house, and we had a wonderful time with all of them.
