I went to The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens after 2 years. How nice to see old colleagues! Some left, but others are still working at the same position and remembered me and welcomed me.
I walked in the gardens, visited the renewed Yamato kan, had a luncheon with Education Staff, visited many people working there, and took pictures.
In the afternoon my old office room mate came to see me there and we enjoyed the reunion.
I stayed at my first and last host family and the neighbors got together and had a wonderful dinner. It was raining heavily at night and to my interesting one family came there by car though their house is just across the road.
I really had a good time today.

九月二十七日（kugatsu nijyushichi nichi）： September 27
I was surprised to know that to check in the baggage for the domestic flights it costs $25. In Japan up to 20kg it is free. In flight service also costs these days.
I miss old days.
After arriving at Miami, I took a shuttle to go to the station and rid on the Tri-rail for the first time. I have wanted to ride on it while I was in Florida, but I had a car and did not have a chance to do so. When my Japanese friend came to visit me, they used that train and it was very cheap. But it seemed they raised the fare. It took about 1 hour 24 minutes to go to Delray Beach. And I took a bus. This was also my first experience in Delray Beach.
It was rain in Atlanta, but it was fine in Delray Beach.
I had dinner with my third host parents and went to see the beach.

九月二十六日（kugatsu nijyuroku nichi）： September 26
The car broke again and we went to the garage in Macon. How we felt lucky to know the garage is open on Sunday!
However, after they repaired the fan belt and it seemed fine, after a few minutes drive we found the alarm light was on and went back to the garage to ask the repair.
We waited and waited but they could not repair and the closing time has come.
By that time the heavy rain was pouring. We did not know what to do. After all we called a cab and went to the shuttle bus station to Atlanta Airport. There we had to use another cab to the hotel. The driver could not read the map and he took a wrong way. What a waste!
I hoped to have a southern dinner, but the restaurant was just closed and had to end up in the Chinese restaurant. Usually Chinese dishes are delicious but this time they were not so tasty unfortunately. Misfortunes never come alone.
But I liked the message of the fortune cookie.
