Trip
to Izu-Hanto!
- October 13-14 (2002), Shizuoka
 |
 |
| Yuka is here featured in yet another sea picture. | Hatsushima has a pretty small local population, and some construction projects that supposedly have lost big sums of money - including a gigantic resort on top of the island. |
 |
 |
| A classic picture of yours truly. The sign was a keeper, but I threw it away. | Hatsushima also features some pretty gigantic spiders, although I should have used higher resolution to take pictures of them. |
 |
 |
| In this picture, I try to look like a tough gangster, or make that rap star. Anyway, the big spiders do not bother me at all, proving that I am a real man. | Another attempt at a spider picture, unfortunately ruined by low resolution. |
 |
| Yuka actually brought this spider home and
cooked it for dinner. I was rather surprised, particularly as the
Japanese eat them raw. They are, however, known for their calcium
content. By the way, this may not be true! |
