Some more pictures (^_^)

Ok, so here's some pictures of my stay in Japan (about time, eh?). The two pictures of the road is very close to my apartment. I walk down this road everyday to get to the subway. The trees on the left are a forest park called Dainohara Shinrin Kooen.
The castle is in a small town called Shiroishi. It's about 45 minutes south of Sendai by train. I visited the castle in May with my parents and then a second time in August with Ryoko and my friends Renae and Reiko. The castle was open on the second visit, so we got to climb to the top and admire the view of he city.
And the other picture was taken at the top of an extinct volcano near Shiroishi, called Zao. This is the beautiful crater lake called Okama. It was a really cloudy day, so we were lucky to see it for a few minutes before it was covered over again.
I'll post more again soon :)
Not much new here, except that tomorrow is Renae's last day at GEOS (and Thursday is her last in Sendai) and my next baseball game is this Sunday (first one in 2 months).
