Miyajima

Now that I survived the long insane week from hell of midterms and getting my medicine issue resolved, I have time to post some pictures! Here is our trip to Miyajima. Miyajima is located next to Hiroshima and you take a 20 min. ferry ride to get there. It has the only Shinto torii, or gate, Itsukushima Shrine, in the world that is in water! It was very cool. The water level was down, and the lighting was kind of awful for taking pictures, but I am posting them anyway!
Love,
Monica

Getting on the ferry

Yay, Obies! With Dan on the ferry

With Andrea!

A boat!

Deer eating paper found on the ground. At first there were two...

And then there were three! And cars drove around them while they stood in the middle of the street eating paper!

Blurry picture take while walking

With one of the funniest girls I've met, Margarita, from Bolivia

Lots of lanterns

You can see how high the water was during the day...

A very blurry me in front of the torii... The End :-)
