Monday's Activities

On monday I had the afternoon off, so Satoko and I made a day trip to the little onsen resort town of Asamushi, near Aomori. First we visited the aquariu. Here is a picture of a dolphin sweetly kissing Satoko's shoulder.



Here is some funny English:



And check out this cool video.

Afterward, we had time to kill so we watched a movie in Satoko's car while it rained outside.



Then came the big event - the Asamushi fireworks show. What were they celebrating? I don't know. It's festival season around here and there seem to be all sorts of things going on. Here's a pic of a big exploding firework, partially obscured by the smoke of the previous ones.



And, after returning to Mutsu, we went to our final karaoke session with my friend Jon, who leaves for America this week.
