Two weeks ago, some BEST club girls decided to take a trip to Hakone, a nearby onsen (hot springs) town, to have fun, relax in the public baths and enjoy our last days with Mary. Yes, that’s right, Mary’s time in Japan has come to a close. She returned to Nebraska to study pharmacy. We miss you a ton, Mary.
everyone at dinner at our hotel: Left: Sae, Mary, Ayano, Chisato. Right, Fuyu, Asako, Jo, me, Na
i love japanese food! this is what each person's place setting looked like! wow!
a close up of the food: on the large plate to the left is broccoli in some sauce with octopus legs. I believe the orange things are carrots wrapped around bamboo. next to that is some pickles with a spicy sauce and some ham on the side. at the top is raw salmon over lettuce. yum!
hanging out and drinking green tea in our room
we stayed in a japanese style hotel. they provided our yukata (basically a long cotton robe/dress) and the over coats (since we had to walk outside to get to the public bath) for us to wear during our stay. we decided to take a formal shot. lookin' snazzy don't you think?
with jo and mary
Hakone is in a rural area, yay for scenery!
