spring field trip

Well, the spring field trip turned out to be more fun than I thought it would. I knew the things we would be doing would be fun, such as:
-a castle
-a cool old shrine
-a great forest
-the Ocean
-some onsen
-a river boat ride
-an amazing waterfall
-a cooler but more anticlimactic old shrine
-some rocks

But the missing thread was the bus. My friends and I (Jason, Jason, Richard, Hannah, Kendall, and Ben) discovered that the back of the bus we were on could turn from normal back of the bus into a really sweet limousine-like circle. So there were 6 of us (Kendall would come and go) in a circle of 12 seats. We had tons of room, we spread out, we allowed each other naps and music listening time, but it was mostly a lot of good conversation and a lot of alcohol. We wanted curtains to really make it a room, even though we referred to it as a room. We spent an obscene amount of time on the bus throughout the three days, so being in such a comfortable arrangement was highly satisfying.

Here are some photos.

it's the same ocean....


I built a rock pile.


These rocks are married.










The next big adventure: Korea.
