We're back!

Well we are back from Japan. What a fabulous time we had (I am still trying to adjust to different time zone - I am exhausted so no scrappin for a couple of days anyways)! I never did come across any copic markers - pretty bummed about that but everything else was an experience of a lifetime. Japan is full of wonderful, welcoming, warm friendly people and our host families were no different. Here are some pics of our trip (in no particular order!).

As we arrived in Tokyo airport.
The steaming mountains of Noboribetsu - an active volcano underneath! Yikes.

We had many traditional dance and drumming performances done for us and then we joined in on the fun.

I was surprised at how much the vegetation around Japan looked just like Canada!

Time to play!

We had one day at Disneyland. It was VERY HOT and HUMID but we stayed until closing and had a ball.

Shopping in the Harijuku (?) shopping district. Lots of fun for the kids but I don't do well in crowds! Jaimee wanted to wear her new kimono while we had our shopping day in Tokyo, her new friend joined in too (they bought themselves some glasses).

My favorite photo of the whole trip. You can see Jaimee and her friend walking in front of me.
