While we had a few special outings, most of the time we spent with the Japan Clarks was informal, relaxed and filled with food, hugs and laughs. So here’s a collection of random photos taken throughout the three weeks.

The first full family picture! Later, Chris’ cousin Suzanne (a professional photographer) took some more posed and formal family pictures.
