Quick update- The trips this weekend were FANTASTIC. I loooooooooooved our guide Colin- crazy esque humor, friggin gamer (tabletop so d&d), did magic, super techy, super otaku :P Also loves GitS:SAC (ghost in the shell) so ultimate respect. I would love to sign up for the other trips I have not yet signed up for since they are close to repeats from last time just because he's a joy to spend a day with. And his wife was nice enough to be ok with us coming to his house to see his crazy otaku room :P and CAT. OMG CAT. Adorable black kitty that he plays so ruffly with. It's just adorable (homesickness......yet not. very strange). Of course sometimes the people on the tours themselves can drive you a bit crazy. Maybe stories of such to come. *maybe*
At any rate- today we didn't get to do everything we wanted to do- we only did a BBQ celebrating 4th of July and swam in the river in Asuke. I was practically the only one who was up-to-neck in water for most of the time. It was seriously the same temp as Lake Michigan (so cold but niiiiiiiiiice). The trip to our BBQ spot was...........omg..........GPS failed at telling us to go up a normal road so we trecked in a van up the mountain on a what looked like a service road, with cliff drops right next to the vehicle.
I captured some of the craziness via movie on my camera....sorry for the poor quality but here are the links:

lots of meat, AND booze. Definitely got tipsy. Friggin lightweight- one beer and a cocktail and I'm tipsy. Geeze I got to get better at this...if only it wasn't so bad for you calorie-wise. Not counting my calories mind you, just aware where there are empty calories in life.
Video of Saturday's trip on the ropeway-descending from the mountain and seeing a mountain goat.

Right, well I have a major test of 12 chapters Tuesday so I'm spending all day tomorrow studying here at home and on the online classes site while airing out my futon and such. Major major repetition cramming. I hope to be skilled at these chapters by the end of tomorrow.
