Trip to Soryo , Hiroshima





Hi Every one,

First, to all of you thanks for a great season. It was exciting to see good race results and many personal bests! We are committed to continue our move ahead and see more success in the future!

Second, before we left Japan this year we visited different areas. Hiroshima, Kamakura, Onjuku. Thank you to all that welcomed me and my family!!

Soryo in Hiroshima is where my Grand parents are from. I saw the house they lived in the grave site for the Ito Family and met many family members.

In Kamakura we stayed with the Fukashima family and saw old temples and beautiful sites.

In Onjuku westayed with Ono and Mika and had a greatparty at Uematsu Sans new house. Also surfed and actually stood up for the first time. It was a blast. Chrissy and Makaiya loved it too.

Enjoy the pictures.

Bye for now.
