Summer Adventures: The drive home from Wakkanai

We started the day with one last game of Hand and Foot.

最初に手と足と言うゲームした。

It requires a crazy amount of cards.

A group shot.

The sky in Nakagawa is gorgeous.

Furano was so gorgeous that we had to pull over and take a photo.

C hadn’t tried lavender ice cream, so we had to do that before she left.

Cはらベンダアイスを食べたことなかったから、食べに行った。

One last soup curry trip.

The bright, colorful veggies are always the deciding factor in my decision at this shop.

いつもこの明るい野菜が欲しい。

We both wanted to take photos of our dinner.

Lunch with E-sensei

Monday was a holiday, so E-sensei and I made plans to go out for lunch. We decided to go out for soup curry.

月曜日は休みから、E先生と昼ご飯へ食べた。スープカレーを食べた。

The dishes are handmade, aren’t they cool looking?

お皿は手作りからすごいでしょう。

Soup curry!

スープカレー！

Our whole lunch.

After that, we went to take a peek at the beautiful lavender.

My turn.

Not sure kind of flower this is, but it’s pretty.

この花の種類が分からないけど、きれい。そして、面白い形があった。

The two of us. It took some coaching to help the woman understand how to use my camera.

私たち。撮ったの女の人は私のカメラがあまり分からなかった。E先生教えた。

I thought these two were cute.

この2人はかわいかった。

After that we headed back to town.

Photo Challenge Day 16

March 16: big vs. tiny

In this picture the tree looks big, but compared to town it’s tiny. And the town looks tiny, but really it’s huge. (Sorry it's not an amazing picture, I'm not good enough yet to board with my real camera). 

Taken, of course, at the top of a ski hill this afternoon. I went out with the group of friends who are the same age as me to go boarding today. We did lots of super steep courses. And there was sooo much powder. I probably spent the better half of a couple of courses falling in the powder rather than snowboarding!

After boarding, we went for dinner. We ate one of my favorite Japanese foods, soup curry.

Here are the friends I went boarding with, Aya and Ami.
