Every weekend we like to take off and explore somewhere.  One of our favorite families here invited us to go see some wild horses.  It sounded exciting so we took off.  It was about a 2.5 hour drive which means it is only about 60 miles away.  John and I loved the drive because everything is so interesting.  This drive was beautiful as we followed the coast.  We ended up at the Northern most tip of mainland Japan.  It was like nothing you would believe.  There are wild horses right next to the ocean.  They are HUGE!  They are like clydesdales but shorter.  So basically short and big.  Luckily the markets here sale HUGE carrots so we were prepared to feed them.  The kids liked feeding them for the most part....unless they forgot a carrot was in their hand and a horse was coming after them to get it.  Then they thought they were being chased! They were really nice...kind of scary though when you are right next to a lot of them and remember they are wild.

Here is Lantz showing how big the carrots are here.

It was a beautiful day with great company.  We hiked around for a bit.  Walked the coast to look for treasures.  We ended up with two crate things that we are using for shelves now!  We had a picnic and listened to the waves.  Japan continues to amaze us.
