[pct-l] Breaking News!!!

[Yoshihiro Murakami]

Dear Melanie

My present plan (might be changed) is:

7/23 San Francisco
7/24 buy some foods, SIM card , gas canister
7/25 go to Yosemite
8/7-9  or 8/10 stay at   VVR

The best place of language learning (Japanese / English) is VVR( or
San Francisco ). I learned at this place listening and speaking from
the hikers free of charge. We do not want your or your daughter's help
to carry our loads. If I was helped by you, my enjoyment will
decrease.

I am a descendant of pirate of Japan sea, so I belong to the bad boys
as like  the American gangs. I might have bad educational powere.
