Toyoko Inn Hachinohe-ekimae

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.

Just started this blog to try and remember all that we've done so far. It is day 10 here in Japan and the weather has been very hot and humid. It has been so hot that Skyler said that he wished the outside would have airconditioning! We've spent almost everyday going to ...

... 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 ...

... Apples in Season in full effect. All the orchards were full of apples and everyone from all over came to the area to buy fresh apples. My mom loves these apples and had a few dozen sent to several family members around Japan. We returned from our long trip and went to pay our respects to our late Tako Obachan. We had dinner with our family and returned back to uncle Takeshi's house. At Takeshi's we had some beer and sake with rice crackers, what a treat!

... Store back home. This weekend we are going on another tour, so I will have pictures from that. I will also be posting random pictures with this post. (They are to come) Have a good one people!!

... from dear Angela as they all swam in the salty cold waters. The rest of us ate the local salty cracks and chips and had our refreshing bottled water - Angel's all the way from Whistler! As the skies darkened, we left for the buffet - "bikingo" as it's known here, since it was like a smorgasborg which came from the Scandinavians. Amazing food complete with an assortment of sushi and great korean barbecue meats. Angela ...

... of CA in the distance, with the fall colors of VT/NH on the rolling hills of NC... just a big hodgepodge of the US in my mind. Very picturesque none the less. We were able to stop at our hotel for a bit, and I took a quick 20 min. catnap since I find sleeping on the train difficult and uncomfortable. A quick vocal warm-up, and we were ready to walk over to the hall at 4pm. Nice theater, with an INCREDIBLE catering ...

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!
