Temples, Beaches, and a Giant Buddha

For us Japan travelers, yesterday was June 7th. We took a trip South to Kamakura. Kamakura is a city by the beach that contains a ton of temples. We took the Japan Rail there, which is always a trip because of how many dang people ride that thing. When we got there, we walked to the beach and saw the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Then we walked some more, a theme on this trip, to the Giant Buddha. And I mean GIANT buddha. The area was really cool. Lots of people. Americans too. I heard English. Odd. Lots of religious things going on. Means nothing to me.

After that we took the train up to Yokohama. In Yokohama lies China Town. It was cool. It was like we in China. We also purchased our tickets to go see the Yokohama BayStars. So you can imagine how absolutely jazzed I am to go see a baseball game... in Japan. It will be an amazing experience. I tried to buy a shirt, but they said their large wouldn't fit me. I got sad, but then I realized that I am actually just cooler than anyone in Japan. haha. I'm gonna rep my Padre hat at the game. Got it planned out already. I'm stoked.

We, then being really tired due to the lack of walking we do in the States, decided to head back.We met up with Briana, and then went to the grocery store. Got food and beer. Came back to her house and made our food and then went to sleep.

Good day.

Ps. I felt rushed the other day so I didn't elaborate enough. Harajuku is the fashion area of Tokyo. Tons and Tons of kids and teens who dress crazy. Think Gwen Stefani and her videos. Shibuya has one of the largest intersections in the world. And the women at Shino was named Mioke. I found this out by using your book, Kylee. Its been very useful. She called us "international." and told that to anyone that walked in her bar. it was awesome.

One of these days I'll put up pictures.

Today, June 8th we are going to Hakone (aka Mount frickin' Fuji). We are going to ride a pirate ship.

Hope everyone is doing good at home. i see that when I leave the country, the Pads start winning. Lame.

Late.
