Tohoku Trip

It was really nice to take an extended vacation. Unfortunately it is a national holiday in Japan now, however I am back at work. Anyways, my vacation involved taking a road trip to the Tohoku region where I went as far north as Iwate-ken. Other than that I took it easy in Tokyo and just enjoyed not looking at my work laptop though I must admit that I did take peaks on my BlackBerry from time to time. Sometimes, I wish my work never gave me that phone.






Matsushima bay is considered one of the most scenic places in Japan.






Did a brief stop in Fukushima.




In Sendai.... cow tongue never tasted so good!!!!




Checked out the Pacific coast line from Miyagi-ken. Too bad the weather wasn't perfect.




Appi in Iwate-ken. Great time there!




Funky trees.




Nice park in Iwate which sort of reminded me of Inokashira Park in my area.
