• A Sister City relationship with Hondo, Japan, Kumamoto prefecture was<br />
officially established. In this area of Japan, the government combines several<br />
small communities (like <strong>Encinitas</strong> in 1986) <strong>and</strong> is renamed Amakusa on March<br />
27, 2006. Many cultural exchanges have taken place with students, fire fighters,<br />
medical personnel <strong>and</strong> government officials. There is a mile marker at the base<br />
of 2rd <strong>and</strong> “B” Streets that show the miles to our Sister City as 6,129 miles.<br />
