MT. FUJI!!!

I wanted so much to see Mt. Fuji while in Japan. We went to Kofu for a couple of days to spend time with the Tanii family. Tanii Sensei drove us all over showing us all sorts of wonderful things. It rained all day but we explored nonetheless. On this, our last day with him, we were driving home, content to have taken in what we could, TaniiSensei started swerving the vehicle and shouting"APPEAR! APPEAR! APPEAR!". He kept looking over his shoulder and hollering what we couldn't decipher was English or Japanese (Generally he spoke Jenglish at best anyway).... But finally, in his excitement, he was able to manage "MT. FUJIIIIIIII!!!!!!" We turned and there she was, in all her beauty, Mt. Fuji.


He found a place to pull over and we spent a good deal of time just standing there admiring and appreciating the fact that we were allowed a time with Mt. Fuji. As you can see, the clouds parted just enough. It only lasted about a half hour, but it was enough, we were all excited and had a great time.
