So these are the photos from me and Diana's going away parties over the last 2 days in Akita before we went to Tokyo and then went home. I posted them to facebook but I guess I never put them on here. It was a great party where we had yummy Korean food and lots of laughs and then lots of crying. Everyone cried even the boys, they tried to hide it but we could still tell.

... in a festival with a prince, riding on an elephant in Thailand and a tiger somewhere in the northern part of Japan. I remember taking camping trips with other kids all around the country and taking a Japanese dancing class with my mother to be in festivals. Years later I took a month long trip over to Japan with a group of Girl Scouts. I was able to experience everything I had again and it ...

... go soon!" So I got my stuff together and we were up and running on our way to the mountains near Aomori. Our first stop was Tachineputa to see a museum which houses huge parade floats which adorn the street every August. It was pretty cool to see the actual scale of these floats because they are 4 to 5 stories tall. I was amazed how strong this floats are because you could actually touch them and feel what materials where used to produce them. The ...

09/27/2007 - Days #4-7 Well sorry I have not updated in a few days, we have been hanging around on Base in Misawa. Not too much going on just little things around base.

By 4pm, after our own version of the siesta, we went to the 'other' Universe, where we met Russell's friend, Jodie. She kindly drove us to two of the most beautiful places in Hachinohe, Tanesashi and Shirahama. These two beaches, only minutes apart by car ...

... local fruit stand and had our way with their supplies of fruit. I opted for one red, and one green of the GIANT variety. Amy went with a Red of the medium variety, and the owner thought she was darling and gave her a rotted Pear?!?! Seriously, gave her a pear that was a little over-ripe. She "shared" with the rest of us... even half-dead their fruit is still pretty good. After the show we went to the hopping area of town ...

So we left the family (I MISS SATO!!) and spent 9 1/2 hrs on a ferry. Not like ours tho you get separated into large rooms (with other ppl) you take off your shoes and have a little black pillow to sleep on the floor. But guess what our room was nice and empty coz whenever the Japanese looked in they saw us and went elsewhere!!!!

Misawa Air Base, Japan, is located approximately 400 miles northeast of Tokyo. We get a lot of snow here! Check out the weather link!
