Asama Yama (Mt. Asama)

We went up this mountain and were able to take some great pictures of Asama Yama.
It was really cool there was fog in between some of the mountains.
This is a volcano called Asama Yama. It is active and it usually erupts every 16 or so years (but not with lava - just smoke and ash).

Wild Boars!!!!

I was walking home from the place where I study and I was cut off by about ten wild boars. I was freaking out! I had never seen them before and nobody was with me. I didn't know if would charge at me or if they would be scared of me. I started to scream and stomp my feet and they all ran off. I was very happy! This was a picture that we took a few days later. Jon and I chased them to get these pictures.
There were nine baby boars and one Mama. Olivia calls the wild boars "wild boards" it is very cute.
