This I flushed.

Dam Water!
Today(July 22nd) we took the train to a slightly different part of Tokyo. Although you see misty mountains the signs assure we have not left the Metropolitan areo of Tokyo. You'd never know it. The train dropped us off in a sleepy little town and we took a bus to Ogouchi--a man-made lake that provides Tokyo with 20% of its drinking water. We took a bus up into the mountains and did some hiking. It was absolutely stunning. I have never seen such a variety of greenery. Fir trees mixed with bamboo and palm trees. And we spotted the most beautiful lily any of us have ever seen.

Hey everybody! Just wanted to thank you for all your comments, means a lot. Keep 'em coming! We're going away for a few days and won't be checking or updating the blog. We're going to hike in the Japanese Alps!
And yes, I really am that much taller than my sister. She's little, but still taller than my Mom.
Hope all is well.

Hi!
I love the photo of you guys at the bus stop! pP nd I had a big giggle over it, he look on Jen's face was awesome! Seriously though, I would be freaked out with all those cars passing so closely!
Enjoy your hike!
