Pictures, Pictures, Pictures.....

Nijo Castle in Kyoto. This is a castle of an ancient shogun. It was so huge, and amazingly fortified. It was something to see.



My beautiful little pack mule. Jaron was actually carrying all four of our packs all evening. That has to be 50 pounds of stuff!

On one of what locals called our "days at leisure" we took the train to Takayama. It is a quaint little town nestled in the crook of a mountain. Now this is where you visit if you want to see how it really is to live here. Not a lot of tourist activity.

Now this is my kind of homestead. Look at all the rice growing.


Drying rice after it has been cut.















Jace and I at Mt. Fuji. And it rained, and rained, and rained. It wasn't bad though, we expected lots of rain and only had two days.
