Meet the Kayakers

Ladies and Gentlemen, Ron actually found Japanese Kayakers. Along with the snow blog was this memorable experience. It all started with one trip to the mall. We were in the parking structure when I noticed a playboat on top of a car. Quickly, Ron and I put together a receipt and eyeliner to write a note to the owner of the kayak. Half-hoping we put it on his windshield. Before the day was over, Ron got a call from the guy and set a date to meet him and his other kayaking buddies.

After Ron's work on Saturday, the kayaker (Takahashi) picked us up and we went to Lake Tazawako in Akita. We met up with his friends at stayed overnight in this beautiful traditional Japanese house. They served us traditional Japanese food and we drank and talked for the remainder of the night. They were also all Japanese speakers so it was a great chance for us to practice.





The next day, after having a yummy traditional breakfast, they took us to the famous NYUTO ONSEN. The translation of Nyuto is "Mother's Milk. The water is a milky color and it makes your skin really smooth. Once we finished with the onsen we made our way back home. We were really lucky with this group and we're really looking forward to making these meetings a regular thing.
