Favorite Customers (again)

We just finished a great One Life Japan trip with three more of our favorite customers. I gotta stop saying that because somehow we only attract our favorite customers. I guess I can blame it on our web-site that we try to keep as personal as possible to attract people we will like. Somehow, only cool people end up joining us - except for that one... (just to keep any past customers who may be reading wondering if it was them ;-P)

Anyway, this time we had a thoroughly challenging trip through mountains and villages, along with a hike up Mt. Naeba to see the sunset that was unfortunately obscured by clouds. We did, however, get to catch the beginnings of the fall colors. I can't wait for our fall bike and hike trip. Which, by the way, is now open for registrations again following a cancellation. Although that is not why I am writing this post, I just thought I would mention it (what is the emoticon for a kinda timid "is it OK if I say this" face?)

This are just a few of the photos but there are more to come once I finish processing them.

Tomorrow we get out again to hike the Shinetsu Trail with the local Board of Education. I hope to have some nice photos of this when I get back, but I may not be able to concentrate enough as I worry about all the fields we have where crops are rotting and in urgent need of harvest.
