Another one of my friends finally had a Monday off so we took the opportunity to go somewhere, and since my friend had never been to Kamakura we decided to go take a look. We started at Kita-Kamakura and went to some of the famous temples. We then decided to take the hiking trail to the ‘daibutsu’ or Big Buddha.

The hiking trail was very nice and the shade was very welcome as in the afternoon it was pretty hot.

We saw a very interesting plant with white leaves.

I got to break this wafer thing on the rock. Destruction is my kind of fun.

The view of Kamakura from the hiking trail was also very nice.

After lunch we saw the daibutsu. We also looked for the squirrel but it was sleeping.

Dogs.

Afternoon sweets that were actually some of the worst ones I have ever eaten. We also ate ice cream; the ice cream was pretty good.

We still had some time to kill so we went to the beach for a little. I also wanted to see if it was any cleaner than last time I went. The strange beach smell as last time was still in the air. I must be bias to the wonderful LA beach smell that doesn’t contain the smell of rotting fish.

Some fool left the door unlocked so of course we jumped inside.

Me and some strange driving pose. They are lucky they didn’t leave the key in the ignition.

We took the train and subway to Shin-Yokohama to go to the Ramen Museum. I’ve been wanting to go for a while as I had been told by many people that it is interesting with good ramen. We ate a bowl of ramen and then took a break before we ate another bowl.

During the break we played around in the toy room. We learned how to spin these battle top things and I got pretty good at it. Afterwards we played the free Bingo game where I lost badly: I came in last place. Then after another bowl of ramen we took off to get back home. It was a very interesting trip and I promised to visit my friend in Okinawa as she will soon be moving there.
