The road to Fuji. We left Tokyo on a train, then took a mountain
train to climb the elevation. Then a cable car up and over the
pass, and then a "pirate" ship across the lake. Did we ever
see Fuji on this cloudy and rainy and chilly day? No!

A close up of the
cemetary headstone

Down the road of the
little town we got
to explore in lieu of
seeing the mighty
Mt. Fuji. Alas, and
oh well. It was a
great and fun day
of travel, even if we
did not see the famous
emblem of the country
we were visiting. Not
your fault.

A little time for shopping
in decidedly Japanese
style convenience
stores. Matt should be
looking for my dried
cuddlefish. Yummy!

A typical town. Did you
notice by now that the
Japanese drive on the
left side of the road?

A 7-11? Wow, almost.
I'm sure the color scheme
is far from an accident.

At the Yokahama station,
we see how orderly the
Japanese can truly be
while waiting for the train.
