Quickie

hey all,

Just a quickie here. Michi and I will be heading to the mountains today so we can see the so called "Diamond Fuji".

This is only a two day trip, but it looks to be a spectacular one, if a very cold one too.

More on our return.

Cheers,

Izu and Others

hey all,

The explanation is really with each of the pictures.

A model of one of Perry's black ships. They have really embraced this thing.

Our dinner

Various views from our room

The cave we wanted to see by boat, but didn't have a chance to.

Might not look spectacular, but this is wasabi ice cream. Let me say that again: WASABI ice cream. It was sweet and yes it did clear out your nasal passages as well.

Christmas Eve Dinner: Some super delicious meatloaf that Michi made.

My contribution to Christmas dinner: this is a buche de noel. Which seems to be French for yule log.  The frosting is chocolate cream cheese, and the filling is coffee flavored cream. The bumps are chocolate covered coffee beans.

The spread from the Fam: Thank You!

Cheers,

Izu Trip

hey all,

So I'm back in blogland. Michi and I just got back from a sweet trip to Izu, but a full description will have to wait until tomorrow.

Otherwise, I've been keeping myself busy and classes are finally winding down for Christmas break.

Cheers,
