Kanpei: Good morning.

Family: Good morning.

K: Shall we take a picure together ?

Staff: May I take a picture with yours too?

Boy: Ah yes. Thank you.

K: You visited us although you are sleepy? Come here.

F:AMEMA!

K:Shall we go?

F: Good luck.(shaking hands)

K: Thank you. Go home and enjoy sleeping soon.

(laughing)

S: Where do you come from?

F: From Indiana.

[momizitoyotsuba]

0:57

K: Indiana? Then far forward from us, right?

S: It is where we are going.

F: Right. We can't visit next week, so we thought there was no chance except today. We left home at 1 o'clock.

S: AM ?!

F: Yes. We arrived here at 5 am.

K: How great you find this place !

F: I got a clue yesterday. That "Post it" (I'm not sure if he said this word) as a mark.

S: I see. And also there are some clues like stores and streets names.

K: You can find us with that kind of things?

[momizitoyotsuba]

1:27

F: We came here only depending on that sign. Then also we found the ribbon.

K: Hmm how great you found us.

F: It was devotion. We wanted to meet Kanpei-san.

K: All the way here. I see. That is awesome.

F: No, Kanpei-san is much more awesome.

K: No no. Despite that early morning. You may catch cold. Get on your car.(to the little girl)

[momizitoyotsuba]

2:06

K: It (leg) got quite better.

S: Well, run slowly.

K: Yeah, now I will run slowly.

F: Actually we wanted to run together, but Kanpei-san's physical condition is most important, so.

S: Thank you. We're so sorry.

F: Please take care and keep going.

[momizitoyotsuba]

2:33

S: Kanpei-san, you should tell...

K: Ah, when you arrive at your home, could you post a comment (on Earth Marathon homepage) like "We arrived safely"?

F: OK, we'll do.

K: We worry about that. Leave comment like "We are the family visited you in the morning..." Now I'll go.

S: Thank you.

F: Thank you. Good luck. Itterasshai !

3:44

K: The scenery is getting different as we close to Chicago.

4:15

K: What do you think? Finally it seems like we are in Chicago town.

It's beautiful, really. Although the bridge looks different a bit, but this scenery

is as if Nakanoshima in Osaka. It's nice view. There is no any dust. They must be cleaning well.

S: The railroad would come down on that bridge.

[momizitoyotsuba]

5:26

S: That is a ball park.

K: Which team?

S: A ball park of a minor league. Isn't it the minor of Cubs?

6:25

K: Are they quarreling?

S: They are.

S: It's scary.

Kanpei is trying to read the comment from the family visited in the morning but it's hard to see for him.

He asked someone to read it.

8:32

K: I think Sakamoto-san also can't see it.

S: Yes I can, I can.

"We are the 5-member family from Indiana and visited you at the starting point this morning. How is your leg?"

K: The pain of instep gone

[momizitoyotsuba]

8:52

S: "We are interested in running too, so we were looking for running with you, but we understand that the most important thing is Kanpei-san can achieves the goal. We arrived home safely. You'll come to Indiana soon. It is getting good season for seeing fireflies. Please look at the outside through a window of your hotel. They glow differently from Japanese ones do. They glow as if they are saying "AMEMA". Please hold on, take care with health and accident." From Nozawa-san in Indiana.

9:38

K: Nozawa-san, thank you for your coming in spite of that early morning.

It would have been better if we could run together, but the road is narrow and

it is sad if something happens, so... I'm sorry.

I'm looking for seeing you again in Indiana if you could come.

(Please forgive my inexperienced English. I'm glad if this could be a little help for someone :)
