| We had
the pleasure of heading down south with my office earlier
this year. We went down to the Gebi (pronounced 'Gay
Bee') river in Iwate, then traveled to a little seaside
town in Miyagi prefecture where we took a ferry to a
small Island and rode a ski-lift to the top of a
mountain. Will the fun ever end?!?! This is Aimee
standing in front of the aforementioned seaside town's
Jinja (shinto shrine). |

This is us (ok it's
not but our boat looked exactly the same!) on the 3rd
most beautiful river in Japan! We were at the tail end of
the leaves turning and it was beautiful. Everytime
another boat passed us people would wave at us. It
happens with surprising frequency, especially when
visiting more rural areas. Japan is still a very
homogenous country, and despite the dozens of boats on
the river, we were the only foreigners. |

trouble on the 5th smallest crane on the 3rd most
beautiful river in Japan. I got scolded on this trip for
feeding the fish my umeboshi (pickled plum) he fell for
it the same way I did. Looked nice, but he spit it back
out too! |

Aside from eating
delicious shark fin soup, a visit to Miyagi's shark
capital would not be complete without a visit to the ever
so inviting shark museum! |
