Today both Ron and I had the day off thanks to a Japanese national holiday. We've been trying to save money so instead of going someplace far far away, we decided to take a drive to get a better look at Morioka.
If you are to ever look at a tourist pamphlet of Morioka, there will be two things that the guest of Japan must do, see Mt. Iwate and Koiwai farm. Mount Iwate is said to be the "Mount Fuji of the North." It's pretty huge. So we went towards the mountain, didn't climb it, but had some really nice pictures.
On the way back, we saw the signs for Koiwai farm. This farm is the only privately owned farm that became a theme park filled with sheep and cows, and selling anything that comes from sheep and cows. It's suppose to be really beautiful in the winter when they have their winter festival, which we will show you all in a few months, but since we were in the area, it seemed like something to do now. It was so fun. We ate lamb, drank fresh milk and ice cream and went into the wool museum. There was something really fun about this place. Families came from all over just to be together in this park. It was a really memorable time.

Does fresh milk taste different? Write more about what was in the museum!
Wow. Fresh milk! I've tried it in Russia, too. I say, "extremely strange sensation."
Did you guys buy a cow? (You know, for Oren?) :)
