A few summers ago I had the privilege to accompany 10 young students from our little town of Livingston to our “sister city” of Naganohara, Japan. The cultural exchange between the two beautiful towns is the kind of stuff I believe strongly in. Travel stretches the minds, hearts, souls, and perception of our young people by exploring and sharing openly with another culture. Neither Naganohara or Livingston are actually “cities.” Rather they are both small towns in valleys along rivers with natural hot springs near by. At least those are a few of the reasons why we were “paired.” I’ve zillions of stories from a grand trip. The Sister City Program is having an auction soon so of course I donated art. Does your “city” have a sister city?
