Osaka Trip Part 4

ごめんなさい!!! Or, I'm sorry!!!  My blog, along with other things have slipped my mind lately.  My allergies have been acting up to the point the sinus pressure actually caused a 4 day long migraine this past week, add in homework, and so on and, well, I'm sure you understand.  Anyways, this is my final Osaka blog.  I'm uploading it then getting to work on another post.  I just returned from my homestay with the Ota family!  It was amazing.  But, back on subject!  Time for Osaka Castle!
