To hokkaido

Took the early airplane, i could see the best view i ever seen of tokyo and mt. Fuji.

I am finally visiting my friend in deep hokkaido, shari. There is world heritage nature in that area.

Around her house is all nature and farm. Remind me of idaho life during high school year.

Wow, great sunset view!
