A-camping we will go

Monday was Culture Day. No work. And so it came to be that, in order to fully savor the three-day weekend, Ryan, Doug, Yves, Josiah, Toshi, Kousuke, Sakaka, Jennifer, and I found ourselves camping out in cabins in the beautiful woods of Ashio. No, we didn't see any monkeys. But the autumn leaves were amazing.

I also had my very first onsen experience. That means I was naked. With strangers. I wish it weren't so late and I weren't so exhausted or I would fully do justice to the variety of emotions and comical encounters experienced this weekend. However, for now, it's off to bed I go.
