....But then after we were crammed into a ski-lift thingy I remembered we are in Japan! When the doors were open I had people running all over and pushing and shoving, I was sort of surprised really. The Japanese are so polite, next thing I knew I was having my head banged against those little black things hanging from the roof. At several points, during the mad rush to get off, I got separated. But seeing as it would be impossible to lose me in the crowd I wasn't to worried!
The view was absolutely amazing!
Sea of Japan
Aomori(sp?)
It was actually a volcano. Our guide, Mr. Simon took us to two craters. One of half of a crater, the other one was a perfectly round crater. Mr. Simon started to sing, "How great thou Art," when we reached the top, so we all joined in.
The Crater
There was a hot spring that we stopped to look at
The weather was really cold for someone leaving the warmer climates of TX, but it was a lot of fun. We split up at the first crater, only a few went on to the second crater, I went along to the second one. When we had all reached the bottom the second group told the first about the snow monkeys that attacked....oh yeah, no joke! lol

Sounds like a great time. Was it anything like sheeps end gulch?
I want to do THIS hike as a family...guess it will wait until next year. LOL
Sheep gulch was a lot harder! We had a path on that hike that wasn't bad at all.
Yes, we will! We can go snowboarding during the winter if you want to try it out there! lol
