FLESH EATING FISH!

So after our hike up the stairs and down the stairs we say a sign that claimed "Doctor Fish". So of course we paid to have tiny fish eat the rotting flesh from our feet.
Honestly, I could hardly handle it I laughed the entire time. It felt like a little electric current was moving through the water. The tiny ones would get between your toes and it tickled so much. But it was lots of fun! I would have tiny fish eat my feet any day.

Kompirasan Shrine in Kotohira, Japan

Yippy! We did it, we climbed 1362 stairs to a beautiful temple that I can't remember how to spell. It wasn't that bad I was just hoping that you would be as impressed with our cl
imb as the Japanese people are. It is thought to be a huge accomplishment.
This is me looking real cute and sweaty around step 746.
Look at those steps what a booty work out. I already have a killer booty.
This is one of many temples areas on the hike to the top of the mountain. It was all so beautiful. All the temples here are.

Happy 4th of July to you too!

Well whoever said that 4th of July outside of the beautiful United States is no fun has never met the Dangerfords. Being in the future Peter had the pleasure of celebrating his favorite holiday twice,(once on the 4th here in Japan and the other on "the real 4th" which was the 5th here).
Well here we are being as patriotic as we could.

Peter patriotically holding the fireworks!

Angela making sure everyone had plenty of s'mores.
It's not the 4th of July unless Peter is behind the grill.
Everyone sitting around hoping the rain will stop so Peter will attempt to get into the ocean.
Hope your day was amazing see you next 4th of July party.

BubbleShare: Share photos - Easy Photo Sharing

I would first like to apologize about the movie of photos. For some 
reason my computer would not upload single photos. And even on 
the occasion that it does let me upload single photos I can only upload 5.
Any suggestions would be great.

These are pictures from Naoshima island, with our co-workers Andrew 
and Angela. I really just wanted to go because you ride bikes all over 
the island, and I really miss my bike. But, they had some cool art too.  
Like this house project. In an old port city they turned some random
houses spread out through the town into a huge art exhibit. Very neat!

The island was beautiful. Before going I was a little disappointed with
Japans luster. But I can assure you it is beautiful. Beautiful beaches and
tropical trees.

This trip held a lot of firsts for me. My first trip in Japan. My first bike
ride in Japan. And my first taste of octopus. Honestly, I knew I was
taking a risk getting the seafood platter in Japan, but it came with
dessert so I had to. It really wasn't bad, it was deep fried which made
it taste like any other seafood.
However I will say this, the octopus wasn't bad. But I have seen things
here that I don't even think Rick Ford could stomach!

Reasons to begin "going japanese" part 1

There are many things that we love about the country Japan.  None of them involve children or teaching.

Grocery shopping is always a trip as mention in my last post involving an alive fish rapped in plastic.  Peter is holding a product that we have still yet to find out what it is, all I know is that its bright pink or blue and looks like your small intestine.  So we are guessing pig intestine infected with swine flu.
Japan has great zoos.  This monkey was the most lively animal.  Other animals in the exhibit displayed many near dead animals including: a goat, rabbits, peacocks, swans (some out of water), a javelina, and many varieties of chickens.
Squatters! The one real life thing that living in a tent in Montana taught me, how to squat and pee!  
(notice: same face as featured above)
The Japanese are very fit.  Peter and I are hoping to eventually work up to a full backbend.
