Her Biggest Mackerels

Since we moved to Monterey, Aya picked up a new hobby of fishing. She went to the Pier at the working fisherman's wharf (not the touristy one) everyday after school, and soon became one of the "locals."

On that day, she brough home more than a dozen good size mackerels, and for next several days, that was all we ate.
