Hey! I'm photoblogging!

These things are pooped out. The daughter thing was fully recharged after this nap.

Her and Jiji (Granddad) tourtured this poor crab (yes... there is a crab in that box). What am I saying? Crabs deserve no better!

There's nothing better than cold watermelon on a hot summer day. Too bad I'm allergic. She's obviously not!

My yougin' befriended these three brothers. We later set off fireworks together.

One day it was rainy and sort of cold. That's OK. We went to this awesome onsen (hot spring) pool. Ridiculous view!

This is the house we stayed at. It's right on the beach. Izu no Obaachan's (Grandmother from Izu) daughter built it and kindly let us use it.

The view from the house. Not bad?!

I did some snorkeling with the family. I helped bring home about 1/4 of these. They're tasty to some, but me... not so much.

This is Izu no Obaachan, my daughter, and her baba (grandmother). Izu no Obaachan is 91 years old!

This is the house Izu no Obaachan lived in before her husband passed. This place is 60+ years old. That's very old for Japan!

Japan is a very mountainous country. Anywhere you go, you'll more than likely drive through the mountains. Unfortunately, we saw a lot of this.
