Epic Weekend

First I would like to say Happy Birthday to Christine. She had a birthday on Thursday. We had a nice party at the Watanabes full of cake and Anpanman. Christine's real Japanese love.

Friday there was a party at Gotcha, probably the last one. Full of Kat's usual games that always get the party started. Ellen, Kat and Loz looked lovely in their yukata. Jerry attempting to give me a hug and kiss goodbye while slipping in a Really? every few seconds. Some love connections were made consisting of gaijin girls and j-boys. 2 Japanese girls who would laugh at any word that came out of our mouths. Yummy taco rice. A failed trip to karaoke. And a wonderful finale to end the night enjoyed by all.

The next day we went camping at jakuchikyo to celebrate McGuire's b-day. Despite hang overs we all trouped it out to the mountains which turned out to be gorgeous. We stopped at the wrong campground first, but then were directed to the proper one that was situated next to a lovely, looong waterfall. We had an evening hike with chu-hais to start it off. Then the dancing sensation Sparkle Motion Woods was formed during dinner preparations. Following the meal of spaghetti the dance troupe performed a dance that could only be described as monumental. Then a dip in the river and DJs live request hour began. The next day we had a good hike, onsen and meal and departed. Great weather, great friends, great times.
