The Ishinomaki students and host families toured Richmond including the City Observatory on top of City Hall and going to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. They also enjoyed Carytown and shopping for gifts (omiyage) to bring home to their families and friends. They performed the “Fishermen’s Dance” at the farewell barbeque for all of the host families and friends to enjoy.
