Then, It's More Pictures
This part lasts forever, and we're supposed to keep smiling. Notice that my dad didn't have to get dressed up. Why not?

FINALLY!
We get to leave, and go have ice cream as a reward.
|
See You Later!
"Ja, Mata, Ne?," this sign says. That means, "See you later, okay?"

700-Series Bullet Train
Next we went to visit my aunt and uncle, who live near Toyohashi City. We took the bullet train, but it wasn't this one. I just like this one because it looks neat.
|
Minobu Line
On the way to my aunt's & uncle's house, we took a side trip to see some friends of my parents. We took the Minobu line. Here's a picture of the engineer, and me looking out the front window.
|
Mount Fuji
My parents used to live on the foot of Mt. Fuji, and you could see it from the train.
|
Smart Car
In Fujinomiya City, we got to borrow my parent's friends' car. It was tiny!
|
Japanese Orange Picking
At my Aunt's & Uncle's, we got to pick Japanese oranges, called Mikans. I don't really like them, but my sister sure does.
|
Bike Ride
This is how a lot of kids get around in Japan. We used it to go visit my great grandmother's grave.
|
Great-Grandmother's Grave
We poured water into the flower vases, and over other areas of the grave stones, and then said a quick prayer.
|
Temple Bell
My sister and I climbed up by the temple bell.
|
Dango
My great-aunt, my cousin and my mom made dango, a sweet made of rice dough wrapped around sweet bean paste. I don't really like these either.
|
Tea House
While we stayed with my aunt and uncle, we slept in a tea house that my great-grandmother had built next to the house. It's a really neat little building!
|
Meitetsu Train
This is aNOTHER train I rode. The engineer drives up above the train, so I got to sit in the very front.
