a few travels

A shrine inside one of the Buddhist temples at the top of Mt. Miya Jima. I thought this was beautiful.

Lola playing with the bunny at Hachigamine park

This is how they harvest oysters in Japan. The bamboo sticks are hanging down off docks out in the middle of the water

This is how Lola hiked up Mt. Miya Jima-this was all Chris' idea!!

Trying to get Lola to play with the little penguins but she had no interest! I wanted to play with them more than she did

Diggin for Gold!

Lola about to go down the slide @ Hachigamine Park

Being silly in the tub-she likes to show off in case you can't tell!!

Hiking up Mt. Miya Jima

At Miya Jima island-1 of 5 World Heritage sites in Japan

We have been so busy since my last update! We spent a few days in Miya Jima-thanks to the Marine Corps!, we went down to Sasebo and Fukuoka this past weekend, we had Friendship Day on May 5th(an annual event inviting all the Japanese on base), a lot of our friends are leaving so we've been really busy with them, and we have made some new friends recently too that are new to the island. These are a few of the highlights from the past month or so. I realized that I haven't posted many pictures of things in Japan so I will start doing that, and it seems our internet is doing well again so hopefully I can post pictures weekly again.

My cousin is coming this upcoming week and we are taking a few trips so hopefully we will have some great pictures.
