The weekend of September 13-15, Akira and his host family traveled to the nearest city, Duluth, Minnesota and have these photos to share.

Akira on the shore of Lake Superior -- 31,700 square miles of fresh water!

At a Japanese restaurant in Duluth, where it turned out the chef was Chinese -- now Akira knows the English word "imposter"

He misses his motorcycle!

There was time for thorough visit to the Harley Davidson Store in Hermantown.

I think he likes it!
