Ten years ago, when my dad and I first visited Japan we both stayed with host families. Daddy's host family "Joy" and "Peter" now live in
Karuizawa in
Nagano prefecture (about 6 hours north by car from
Hamamatsu).
Karuizawa is a winter ski-haven, summer resort, and home to one of Japan's most well-known missionary language schools. Several weeks ago, I had a chance to visit the area. Here are some of my snapshots. Enjoy!
"Joy" and "Peter" in front of their home
During my trip, "Joy" invited me to join her
caroling group (FYI, I'm the tallest, blondest, and only one not wearing the required uniform!)
It was too cold for fall leaves, but too warm for skiing. However, with a bit of strategic snapping, I was able to get a few "fall-looking" photos.
Peter and I in front of a famous waterfall. I have no clue why it's famous!
"Joy" and I eating the world's best ice cream (and I have eaten A LOT of ice cream in my life) in thirty-degree weather! It was delicious and COLD!!!!!!
A local snow-making company's "Illumination" display
I just like this photo!
