Trip to Tokushima



This picture is from the top of the world, or at least what felt like it. I took this while we were winding up this mountain, trying to find gas. As you can see from the picture we are in the middle of nowhere. Once we got down on the other side we found out that the road had been washed away so we needed to go back the way we came, only we didn't have any gas! Some kind people came through and once they heard of our situation they called the nearest gas station (only 2 km away, but across the section of washed out road) and got us enough gas to get us to another gas station. It was so wonderful of them to be so helpful. Because of them we made it home safely.

Colette likes to wear my shoes















Colette hates to ride in strollers, or shopping carts, but she loves to push them. She goes pretty fast, trouble is she isn't so good at steering, especially since she can't really see. From the front it looks like a possessed stroller ramming into people and walls. She won't let us help her either, she looks up and scowls and says "dant" (don't). Here we are on the walkway over the "whirlpools" near Tokushima. It didn't phase Colette to be walking over swirling water.

Thanks for more photos and comments. Is it any cooler yet? Does your area of the country get snow in the winter? I remember a stubborn one-year-old (initials RLB) who liked to do things on his own. It makes getting anywhere a lot slower.

By the way, I was not getting your new post when I went to your blog. I had to "refresh" and then the new post came up. Don't know why, it was still the same web address etc.

Love
