Well first off I would like to say sorry for not posting anything recently. I have been very busy and have not really had time to stop. I have a lot of other things on my list to get accomplished and am slowly getting through them. I finally started my Japanese Class on the 18th, I will never forget my first mistake learning a new language. We spent all class learning and Bonita walked by and Japanese teacher told me to tell Bonita my name and stuff. But for some reason I thought she wanted me to ask Bonita her name. So instead of saying "my name is Kaila" it came out "What am I ?". Well that is my funny story for all of you, I hope you get a kick out of it cause everyone here is and I think it's great. But back to the real reason I did this blog, which was to show you all some of the pictures I got on a few resent hikes I went on. I hope the pictures can show a little of what I Saw, I know it won't show the full affect. Every time I see things here I can really see how amazing God is in what he has given us to enjoy! Also sorry there are so many photo's I couldn't narrow them down any further!

These first photo's are from Nanakura Dake. A mountain about 25 minutes away!
This a tree that must have been struck by lightning.


These are just a few pictures on random that I took on the mountain.








This Guy is called a Kamashika, isn't he cute and ugly at the same time.


Then today we headed to Shiraito Taki, which Taki means Waterfall!





I got a Nalgene sent to me from some great family members and this is a picture of me breaking it in and filling it up at a spring.
