Mount Rokko!

Who's Rokko?

Rokko is a mountain near Kobe...

Last night Emma and I were taken to the summit lookout by our Japanese friend Toshi...

We met Toshi last week, he knows a lot of the NOVA people we work with. He invited us to cruise to Mt. Rokko with him...

So not only was it our first trip to Mt. Rokko, it was our first trip anywhere in a car in Japan...

Toshi has two cars, but last night drove in his van-like car... The car looks so small from the outside, but when you get in there's a ridiculous amount of room! Like crazy stretch-out-your-legs-in-the-front-and-back-seat room...

After a crazily wind-y (not a lot of wind, whynding... is it spelled the same? Weird...) route up the mountain (with an increasingly car-sick Emma) we got to the lookout...

It was extremely interesting to look from a great altitude upon the city of Kobe...

I took some night snapshots... They are located here. Enjoy!
