This is my new friend Aloe. He is the grandson of Hoshino but some people call him Teradomari for the name of the seaport town he lives in.

I helped him catch a few butter flys after he ran into a snag.

After shopping at Hoshino we took a quick trip to the seafood market at Teradomeri. There was plenty of selectoin of all kinds of seafood. I guess it is all noormal to the Japanese but to me some of it seemed pretty exotic.

Squid on a stick seemed to be a favorite.

Shrimp and fish on a stick seemed to be pretty popular also.

Here's looking at you.
