A Trip to Choshi

November, 2002

Naoto, Mia and I have not been jaunting around Chiba as much as we would like to. The problem is: Mia hates the car for long periods of time. My nightmare is being trapped in the back of our Toyota Cynos (in which I can not even sit up properly without hitting my head on the back windshield) with a screaming Mia. When Mark and Jana were visiting us, we went three hours away to Nikko by car- I had to sing "Little Bunny foo-foo" about a zillion times.

Anyway, Mia is getting better, so we decided to take a day trip to a little port town famous for its cliffs and fish. (cliffs for me, fish for Naoto)

First we stopped at a view point. We found some giant windmills. Mia's hair got mussed. Naoto exclaimed over and over again about how pretty it was. He didn't think it was going to be so beautiful. etc. etc.

We found a tall tower. As no Lincoln can leave a tower unvisited, we went up it. Naoto exclaimed about how scary it was to go up that high. Mia clapped her hands and made squeaking noises. My hair got mussed.
