Students from Japan enjoy a bite of the Central California Coast

I enjoyed hearing about the students visiting from Watsonville's sister city, Kawakami, Japan. I had to smile at the mention of a Mexican potluck lunch at the Buddhist Temple. What a great way to exchange cultural nuances and enjoy home-cooked local dishes at the same time.

The story also mentions K-9 officer, Justus. I'm fairly certain I saw Justus on duty once at a local drive-through restaurant. He was vigilant, focused and ready to move in if he got the order. If you have such a local K-9 officer at your police department you're a very fortunate citizen.
