Day 2 (posted late)

Well, the lack of sleep finally caught up to me and I slept for about 9 1/2 hours last night, after passing out after dinner for a while. 6 hours in two nights is a little short. I didn’t get to sleep until 1AM yesterday and then my mom woke me up at 7AM. We had until 10AM before our friend came to get us, but that’s just the way my mom is.

Yesterday was another travel day, but in a car. 10AM – 12PM was travel to the apple orchard owned by some relative of my mom’s friend who was driving us in her Prius.

Japanese apples are incredibly sweet and giant. Not the kind of thing you just pick up and eat.

12PM – 5PM was on the Japanese highways, through the Japan alps I think, and then along the Japan sea coast. Beats working. I could have taken more pictures, but the weather wasn’t great. And pictures out the car window aren’t much to look at.

Now we’re in Toyama and there’s a big sale at Uniqlo. Time to go!
