Japan 5.25.2012


Friday morning was as glorious as the previous one. Mt. Fuji was still there when we woke up and I love to see that famous mountain each morning during our stay here at the Risonare Resort.

We took another long walk through a different neighborhood on Friday morning...and got lost for a few moments.

Walking through the shopping street.

More beautiful flowers.

Mt. Yatsugatake







What an interesting place

Friday morning and afternoon was set for meetings and training for the Zija leaders.

Rod is conducting the first training.

Karino translates every word.

"Drink Life In" - Good advice

Incredibly beautiful and simple luncheon room.


The whole meal was delicious 

In the afternoon we made pottery mementos

Rod started with a small bowl that turned into a plate.

Marie and Nobuhiro making their pottery.

Rod's plate is done. Only inscription is missing.

Good job Rod!

We had a recognition dinner on Friday night at a small concert/theater hall

The Staff is getting the room ready for the dinner.
