Golden Week 2007







This weekend we took a trip south to visit "Mother Farm" in Futsu City, Chiba. There my daughter was able to milk a cow, hold a bunny, and race baby pigs. The farm was located up in the mountains. There was also an "agri-dome" that was built in coordination with the New Zealand Embassy. There we were able to see a Kiwi sheep herder show his skill at taking the hair off the sheep in just a few minutes. I think the sheep was having fun.
That night we stayed at a traditional "Minshuku" in Kyonan Village. This was definitely like staying at someone's home. Our room looked out right onto the beach and across Tokyo Bay. That night there was a rainstorm and the waves were pretty big. Just before sunset we spotted a submarine surfacing just off the beach. We could not tell who's it was. The next morning we had a beautiful view of Mount Fuji from the room. You can see this picture with the link below.
Here is a link to the rest of the pictures for the day:
