Guelph is a beautiful campus! Hoshina-san and I walked all the way to the Stone Road mall, finally finding an ATM at a gas station that would give us Candian money. We also called her sister and arranged for her and her three kids to come up in the evening and spend the night.
After getting money and food, we used the library computers to look up the schedule for the weekend and realized there were already classes being held. So we changed and met Kim Taylor and folks and joined in the tanjo and jo classes. Hoshina-san has been doing jo for a while so she had a clue as to what was going on, but I was lost, especially since were were being taught the seitei (standardized) forms of the ZNKR by Eto-sensei. It was interesting to try something new, but quite different from the Shindo Muso-ryu we do under NPO Hougyoku-kai.
By the time class was over it was almost nine, so Hoshina-san went to the University Centre to meet her sister and the kids and I took a shower. We all then headed out for a late dinner at the Griffon Pub overlooking the ice hockey rink. The three kids ran amok as we ate burgers, chicken fingers, and fries. Heading back to the dorm Hoshina-san and I did some laundry as her sister put the kids to bed.
