Jon has been in Japan now for about a month, and having all sorts of adventures. He spends most of his days in class studying, but he's also been able to get out and about visiting some of the sites in Tokyo and Kyoto. Here are some pictures of all he's been up to.
He loved spending a weekend with a Japanese host family last week, and they took him to visit a few things near their home.
He also got ambitious and climbed Mt. Fuji a few weeks back. He said there's a Japanese saying that goes something like "You're a fool if you've never climbed Mt. Fuji, and you're a bigger fool if you've climbed it twice." Given how cold, rainy, and not very scenic the hike was, in the end he totally agreed with that.
He's also been getting to know some of the local church members, and went to a beach activity with them. He was clearly the star beach volleyball player!
When he first arrived, he spent a beautiful couple of days in Kyoto, where apparently all the good historical sites are. Here he is meditating (about his lovely wife, of course) at a Zen garden.
