Castle Ruins. It was kind of like a fortified village originally.

Stairs going to a shrine. People put yen in a metal box and prayed there. The shrine was in a small cavern.

I was wading in the warm waters of the Pacific here.

This was a village 2000-2500 years ago. They rebuilt some of the huts so you could get a sense of what it was.

I would love to spend some time in Japan and explore the place.

Lots of neat sights and history there.

I was in Tokyo once and liked the city night life there, but think I would enjoy getting out into the country more.

Johnny, we are tearing it up over here. We went all kinds of places today. Started early this morning on a zip line course. At the end, they had some kind of Ninja training shit I think. It wore me out. Climbed up this tower, jumped, free fell for about 15 feet before it grabbed, 100 or so feet off the ground, flew feet first into a cargo net, had to climb that and over to another tower with like 5 or 6 Ninja obstacles left. There is video of me on the free fall/zip line thing. Yeah, it was crazy. When I get it, I'll try and upload it to Youtube and put it here on another thread. Damn when am I gonna grow up????:D
