If you are wondering, yes we were on the water. We took a boat all around the bay which is full of small islands. It was pretty sweet!
This is a picture of a little beach that we hiked to. We had to repel to get down to it, pretty rugged!! (it was six feet down!)
We took this long bridge out to a big island and hiked around. It was a botanical garden, but their botanical gardens are "natural" so they just stick signs to random trees.
Matsushima is one of the three most famous scenic views of Japan! and has been for hundreds of years. So this place is very "sacred" and has many temples and graves.
They like to dress up their buddhas for special holidays and so they stay warm and dry!
All in all, it was a tourist hotspot: especially for beef tongue! Which travis ate!!
We took a bus to Sendai and back. Sendai is the biggest city in our area and it was huge. But the most amazing thing on the bus trip were their rest stops, which were like towns in themselves. They really outdo America here! (left: rest stop, right: Sendai)
It was a really good trip, but now its back to work!! But hey, we mostly play games in class so...
