gosh, Matsu takes incredible photos. makes you want to jump into this onsen. i actually did and burnt my feet in the first 3 seconds. so i showered instead.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

isn’t Japan totally amazing! i’m guarantee going back into that mountain onsen resort. spend a couple of days enjoying the deepest part of Japan.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

we went to go visit a man i met on my very first mission. Abe-san has been through a lot in this past 6 years so i always stop by to give him some aloha, which is a big hug. as we passed by the temporary housing where he lived for the past 5 years, it was closed! we were happy that he probably moved on to a better place. and we were sad that we might not ever see him again.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

but when there’s a will, there’s a way. we tracked him down and found him! had the most awesome conversation and was so happy that he finally moved into a permanent brand new house.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

spent last night in Sendai. so beautiful!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

stopped by this cool temple on the way to the restaurant.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

and had the most amazing motsu nabe with Kiku-chan. Kiku-chan has been an inspiration to all of us these past 6 years. such a bright and positive surfer girl.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

and when you’re with a local girl, you know where the best places to go eat.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

then we all snuck into this beautiful pool and had a swim. just joking. haha.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

i’m not joking about our bar adventure. omg, so many laughs, and so many drinks. this is Sendai style!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

thank you Kiku-chan for the wonderful time and wonderful snacks. hope to see you again soon!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

woke up early this morning in my hotel. ate breakfast by myself and started feeling homesick.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

took a walk to Sendai Station. this is where Matsu, Saito-san, and i said our goodbyes. always a sad goodbye.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

then i seen this sign on the side of the road. omg, Hawaii!!! this is when i really felt homesick! i love Japan, but i love Hawaii too. why can’t we combine these 2 places so we all can be happier!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

did some last minute shopping.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

headed to Sendai Airport. getting on a flight to Nagoya, then hopefully back to Hawaii tonight. but for right now, i’m going to eat a cow tongue plate! <\/p>\n

lot’s of things happened in this past week. hope to share more stories when i get back to Hawaii. and if i get stuck i Japan for another day or so, i’ll be stuffing my mouth with the most amazing food in the world. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
