Gifu Castle

Today was a busy day! First we went to Gifu Castle. We rode a cable car up the mountain that it is on. The view was beautiful! Inside the castle was a museum. The area around the castle was pretty too! There was a squirl village were we got to feed squirls. We ate onigiri on the mountain.

After we came down off the mountain we ate kagigori ( flavored shaved ice ). I tried strawberry this time! It was soooooo good! 

Then we went to a temple with a giant buddha. It was interesting. 

After dinner, we went to see fireflies!! In Japane there are special viewing areas since you cant really see them in the city. They were so bright and pretty. On the way home Kaho ( my sister ) fell asleep in my lap :P 

Today was an awesome day!!

Bye~
