Well... I know now that a housewife is something I can never be... maybe a mom/housewife... but I am still not sold (not dogging the people that are housewifes... just not for me). The Youth Center has been closed all week and I have been sitting at home... cleaning and lame things like that... so when I heard about this opportunity to go to Hachinohe to help clean up the port I was TOTALLY STOKED! First some some pictures of the devastation on the way into the port then pictures of us helping clean up after the tsunami.
Here is the first view of the port we had... two giant boats on docks... not where they should be...
This was on the main road... just hanging out...
Here is our group getting our instructions of what to help with... we basically picked up and sorted all the trash, metal & wooden pallets
After we were done with this area... and yes it was snowing...
Here we are digging sand out of gutters so that if another tsunami comes through or it rains the water has somewhere to go...
I was so happy to be apart of something to help the country and people that I love so much... I am sure we will be helping until there is nothing left to do... I love you Japan!

Was it your job to pick those boats up and put them back in the water, Liese?
