Day 274

Day 6 - The sun came out! We rode the train an hour and a half out of the city to see some shrines and one of the largest Budda statues. I loved getting out of the city to see some of the local community. I bought a beautiful umbrella (I know, I'm easy to please) that looks like the rice paper umbrellas but it is for the rain. We walked around some local shops and checked out the shrines and Budda statue. That thing was HUGE! I had high hopes of heading to the "Electric" district to take evening pictures of the city all light up, but I was reminded that life isn't always about what I want to do. Emma lost her mind on the train ride home that we had to just hop off at some random stop to get her to stop crying. Good times!! All and all it was a great trip!! We hope to go back once more before we move in a couple of years.

I know I'm cheating and posting more then one picture today but the sun had finally come out :O)

Girl, I post as many as I like. :0) It's my project, I can do what I want. You have such a sweet family. And that Budda is a big boy!
