Some photos from Mt. Fuji...finally!

"To climb Fuji once is wise, to climb it twice is to proclaim oneself a fool."
--Japanese saying






Well, here are a few photos from our wonderful hike up the tallest mountain in Japan.
The Japanese call it "Fuji-san", which basically means "Mr. Fuji"--cool, eh? We met some wonderful new friends on the hike and had fun getting our commemorative hiking sticks stamped.

Some cool websites....

Think about this...

"If you walk in the mist,
you get wet."
--Dogen, Zen Master


Well, I thought that was something good to ponder.
Here is something else to ponder--how come all of my Japanese neighbors know exactly when it is going to rain, and they take in their laundry just in time? I call the weather unpredictable--so far the record for clothes staying on the line is five days....

This is a picture from our anniversary celebration in Tokyo. How quickly five years go by! I am so grateful to be blessed with a husband who truly is a soulmate and a wonderful companion on the road of life.
