Travels with Dale, Meg, and Maria

We had a great time with Dale, Meg, and Maria--my cousins from Illinois. The following pictures are in no specific order at all! I haven't mastered order of pictures on Blogger :(
Here we are in Hakodate--a city on the north island of Hokkaido. The night lights are supposed to be the third best in the world.
Going for a cruise on Grandpa Ito's boat.
Needless to say, we need to get some smaller life jackets!
My Japanese mom and her sister dressed up Meg in kimono!

Maria was so friendly to Tomoki--here we are in the airport getting ready to fly to Hokkaido.

We visited Nenba, a village that was recreated. They dressed up Dale and Meg--and Tomoki and Maria--as you will later see--in traditional dress. Not Mt. Fuji in the back.

We climbed part of Mt. Fuji--from 5th to 6.3? step.
