A New Baby is born


..Her name is Ayano and she is the wonderful daughter of Shin and Yoshiko. The first week after they returned from 9 years living and working in the Netherlands, we met Shin by coincidence on the beach in Miura. He happened to be a windsurfer, just like Piet and the two became good friends and surfing buddies.
As is customary in Japan, Yoshiko is staying with her parents for the first few months after giving birth. This custom sounded a bit strange to me at first, but I guess you can use some professional help from mom and dad in the beginning.
Yoshiko speaks Dutch very well, so we hope we can learn this new girl some Dutch too!
