I like going to Okunakiyama to start out the year.  It’s not big but it’s nice and I don’t feel rushed because of all the other people like I do at bigger places.

18 January

Was a fun trip, the weather stayed nice almost all day.  I did the 5km trail 4 or 5 time.

Silly monkey!
I took this at a rest stop on the way to the mountain.

Went on the 23rd of January, had a pretty fun time.  It was my second trip there, and I finally had my camera with me this time.

A few days before Christmas we visited the Asamushi Aquarium, it was right after the first big snow of the year.

The aquarium, it was pretty chilly out.

  
I took a picture of this island during the summer on a trip to Fukushima.

:p

  Octopi

It’s called a Basket Starfish.  Creepy and Cthulu-like!

Cuddle Fish

Awesome drawings!  The octopus with the head band is my favorite.

An interesting shrine, you put in 100 yen and you get a fortune and a pebble, I couldn’t read much of the sign, but I think it’s of a place near by.

The aquarium’s mascot.

Feeding time.

I have no idea, but it sure looks cool.

Pretty reefs

Nemo tank!

Jellies!!!

Well, this is where I was for the last 6 months.  It was a lot different than I thought it’d be.  I’m really glad I had a chance to go, I met some really great people and learned a lot.  Every local I met was really nice, and usually a bit curious since I was a female.  I’m kinda tall at 5′8″ so there were a few stares, especially when I pulled out my school book and started reading. XD

A memorial for a hero

Pretty sunrises and sunsets

A bazaar

4th of July celebration, there were many other nationalities there as well, it was fun!
