Bullet Train to Hiroshima
Visiting Hiroshima with the Harters
Visiting Hiroshima was both moving and historical. The city was beautiful. 
Yokohama with our friends
We visited Yokohama which has a beautiful port, had lunch on the pier, and then went to a baseball game featuring the Yokohama BayStars against the Tokyo Giants. We even added a member to our group, a 19 year old stationed in the Navy here.
Boat Ride - Monkey Island
Went on a boat ride in Phuket. Stopped at Monkey Island (not a big fan of monkeys....) They were right there on the beach.
Boat Ride in Phuket
We took a somewhat exciting boat ride in Phuket. Nice and calm on the way out! We went snorkeling, had lunch on an island, and went swimming. The ride back was a little harrowing - life jackets for everyone, cloudy skies, 6 meter waves.....
Elephant Ride in Phuket
We rode elephants in Phuket. It was really bumpy, and our guides were entertaining......Meg and Jac's guide sang to them. Ours dangled a lizard in front of us and then put it in his mouth. (Freaked me out a little.....)
