The beginning of summer vacation proved to be a bit hairy as it was the end of the semester, friends were moving away and friends were coming out to visit... so needless to say, things were busy! So the good news is all of the work is done for the semester, one friend made it home safely while the other made it here safely. My good friend, Caroline, is visiting from VT! Yeah! It's always fun to have a new person visit- it gives you a whole different perspective of where you live or what you've been doing.
Anyhow we've had a busy start with trips downtown, a trip to Kyoto and a trip up Hakusan Mountain.
Below: Caroline arrived at Komatsu airport with no problems (well, for her). The little man in the foreground was so excited to have arrived that he took quite a spill!
There she is! Caroline made it out in one piece (or at least on both feet).
Day 1: Kenrokuen Gardens and Kanazawa Castle
