The boys with their new friend, "Bud."
Today we took all the boys on the train to Kamakura to see the Giant Buddha by the sea. Matt woke up feeling fine.
They got to experience riding on trains that were pretty full, seeing the city and suburbs and small town Japan. We walked through a Shinto Monastery that had centuries old buildings and plum blossoms. We had a Chinese lunch and determined through the order of who got served that Andrew Dunn is king.
After lunch we hiked to see the Buddha and then went to the beach so the boys could collect sand. I encountered 3 very friendly Japanese people today who gave us directions, offered to take a picture for us and chatted with us on the train.
At the beach they also discovered seaweed, a sea star, and a large hermit crab. It's always amazing to me that no matter how old young men get, they immediately become like little boys when they hit the water's edge.
