So, here we have a few pictures from Ajishima, our possibly-soon-to-be-home-again. Our friends on the island took these over the past couple weeks and posted them to their blog. The first five are from the Ajihama (Aji Beach) side of the island. We have not seen any images yet from the Futawatashihama side where our place is (although we learned it survived unscathed).

| Supplies loaded on an island-bound ferry in Ishinomaki City. |

| Elementary school kids donated these relief supplies. |

| A group of Canadians delivers a water filter for the well. |
 |
| The filter will have to last 6 months until new water lines are laid. |

| A photo from years ago: a reminder of more peaceful times, but also a glimpse of what is yet to come. |
