We are at Shin-Osaka heading back to Ikeda.  

I wanted to take the time now to thank Mr Minamoto, from Omura Photography Studio.  He is the photographer for many schools in Ikeda and goes on Sea Side Swimming Camps, Outdoor Education Camps, and 6th Grade School Trips several times a year. He has been doing this for over 49 years. His knowledge of the routes and activities make him a priceless asset to the city of Ikeda. He would take photographs of the students, but then suddenly appear a hundred meters ahead of us! I have no idea how he’s everywhere. We relied on him not only for world class photographs, but for advice and help with everything for the last 3 days. Thank you so much Photographer Minamoto.
