Parents visit The quick and the dead.

5 months of excitement finally ended for our families. They had waited so long to come to Japan and when they were here the waiting was still not over. Due to work constraints they had a couple of days in Tokyo by themselves, but forever scheming I got off work and decided to surprise them. After the shock of being surprised by Aimee and I, we decided to see as much of Japan as we could. Spending a day in Tokyo riding trains, three days in Kyoto riding bikes and two days in Hiroshima holding up umbrellas watching baseball. After the east side we returned back to Takada to show our family our little neck of the woods and to explore what Joetsu has to offer. Our families enjoyed their time experiencing two weeks what we have lived with for the last 9 months, and we really enjoyed having them here, impressing them with our poor Japanese.

Enjoy!

 It took a while for mum to get over the surprise. 

 In honor of the shrine, Graham did his best to wear an outfit that matched the color scheme.
