Need to stop caring. Just stop trying, it hurts too much when it ALWAYS leaves me by myself. I'm never going to be the one for anyone. I'm not even someone people settle for. Just not worth it. I just want to cut off whatever fuels my desire to be with people. It just hurts. Why do I always care more than people care for me. No one wants to stick around. Not worth it. Fed up with reaching out. I always seem to want it too much. And that scares every guy i've been with. In the end we all die alone. I need to work on that. Being ok with that. No building a life. I have no idea how to build a life on my own. I don't want to. I DONT WANT TO. I'm in a canumbrum.Margo808http://www.blogger.com/profile/17373114264600597651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663680799121375670.post-10653815439142657482016-10-02T22:58:00.000-07:002016-10-02T22:58:53.621-07:00Japan Trip<div style="text-align: center;">

After the night in Tokyo, we took a shinkansen down to Nagoya. I didn't take many photos during the first week, since it was all stuff I've done before. We bought 2 umbrellas because it was typhoon season, and it hit Tokyo pretty heavy. We were lugging around big old suitcases in the rain, it was kind of crazy.</div>

Fushimi Inari Taisha. The mountain with thousands of red tori gates. It's spirit is a fox, a symbol of wealth. Everyone comes here to pray for help with finances. They write down their prayer on the back of one of these foxes, and then draw a fox face on the front. ....Or a different face. This one was my favorite.</div>

Otousan's old family house. It's been in his family for a while, and they had it fixed up before they moved down there last year. It gorgeous, feels very spacious, but also secretly super automated. Okaasan called me on the BATHROOM phone while I was taking a shower, I jumped. When you open the door to the toilet room, the toilet lid pops up. It flushes when you stand up, and lowers the lid as you leave. I wanted to give it a name, it felt like a robot.</div>

This is Gunkanjima. When they first showed it to me, I thought it was a ship. Nope. It's an abandoned island. There are a lot of them apparently. About a hundred years ago, this island got moved onto, and for 50 years a community lived there, mining coal. But then the coal dried up and everyone left. Crazy.</div>

A really special moment to me. Rin is NOT a social dog. She barks at you and won't let you touch her. I've met her a lot and she's always been like that. But on my last day, she hopped in my lap and wouldn't get up. It felt super special. </div>

When we got back to Nagoya, Minori and Konan wanted to go to a park and do a Korean BBQ. It was super fun. We only had an hour, and we didn't bring enough wood, so I went gathering twigs while Konan used his little flame thrower. It was a hoot.</div>

Ok back in Tokyo. We planned on going to the Park Hyatt Hotel, to the New York Bar on the 52nd floor. A scene from Lost in Translation was filmed there. We get on an elevator and I'm immediately freaking out because of how dim it is and these creepy face thingies looking down at us. I was thinking it was possibly one of those elevators they use for pranking people on those japanese shows. I plugged my ears and closed my eyes a bit.</div>

Thank heavens for blogs, where you can assume little or no people read. I've got to get this stuff out with a hope that getting it out on here will give me enough peace of mind to sleep.<br />
<br />
ALSDKJFALSDIHFLSDKHFJALKDJFASLKJF ALSDKJ. Do you ever want to express something but it's enough to make you bury your head in your hands and just breathe deeply for a while?<br />
<br />
*OK*.....<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I know that the way I've led my life so far has been off the well-trod path, and all things considered I can't complain. I am thankful I'm on anti-depressants, that has mellowed me out considerably, and I think no matter what I do, that will help out a lot. I kind of bomb with intimacy and relationships due to shyness, but there are worse afflictions out there I'm sure! <br />
<br />
Ever since deciding to move back to America in 2014, I've been torn about that decision. I've never felt so torn about something. One could always try to look at my life in Japan and my life here, and say choosing between the two was a win-win situation, but I can be a bit Eeyore-ish about it. Either life would leave me missing certain things about the one I wasn't living.<br />
<br />
I've moved a lot. A fucking lot. And I've never been this torn. It's been a year and a half and I still think about Japan almost everyday. I have DREAMS about my job there, the kids, Minori, and I wake up bummed.<br />
<br />
But when I came back here I'd made a promise to myself that I'd stay in Utah for more than a year this time (I haven't managed to do that for about a decade.), and I've succeeded. I've finally gotten to that phase of life where you know everyone pretty well, you've created your own persona, and you're comfortable and confident at work. And while I've loved a lot of the jobs I've had in the past, I love working at The MT Pit more than all of them. My opinion matters, I make big decisions for the company, I'm trusted and depended on, and the whole thing's a blast to do everyday.<br />
<br />
But I also loved my job in Japan. A LOT. Yes, the unplanned surprise events, preparation and schedules were sometimes stressful, yes I struggled with the language, yes I REALLY struggled with being outgoing and meeting new people, and yes it sucked to be far away from my family. But I still loved my job, and loved living in Japan. I can't get into details but all in all I had amazing, AMAZING coworkers who wanted to see me happy and succeed there. I got to spend everyday with the most wonderful, smart, and loving 2-4 year olds you will ever meet. I gained a friend and sister, who was there for me and I was there for her. I gained a second family, who treated me like a daughter from the first moment I stepped through their door. I felt very loved in Japan. I'm not saying I don't feel loved here, I do. Of course I do. I just want to say that I most definitely felt loved and cared about in Japan as well.<br />
<br />
It never ceased to make me feel warm inside to have Minori meet me at school with a lunch or gift from Okaasan (Minori's mom), because she hadn't seen me in a week and wanted to know how I was doing. There's a painting of mine hanging in Okaasan's kitchen. I painted it when I was feeling a little sad, and Minori asked me to come to her house to cheer up and relax for the weekend. We didn't busy ourselves that weekend, we just cooked some typical meals, watched TV, played with the pups, and went on walks. It didn't matter what we did, I always felt like I was safe and home when I was there. And on this particular weekend, I wanted to capture that feeling. So I took out my journal, sat on the back porch, and sketched the plum tree growing next to the porch, with it's branches covered in yummy Japanese plums. It was so relaxing to sit there, drink tea, and sketch. When I realized I was going to leave Japan, I went out and bought a canvas, to create a painted version of that view. It meant a lot to me, but it felt ten times better when I decided to give it to Okaasan and Otousan. I gave it to them for Christmas. That gift meant a lot more to them than I realized it would. They'd raised their children in that house, and were selling it that year so they could go back to Otousan's childhood home in Nagasaki. It felt good to give them a piece of their old home to take with them. I got to say Happy New Year to them over Skype last year, and we still message each other through Minori. I could communicate with them, but mostly in broken up simple Japanese words. It's an amazing feeling, to have people mean so much, without having to talk the same language.<br />
<br />
<br />
There's a part, a large part, of me that never wanted to leave Japan. A part of me that felt terrible, that felt like I could've improved my speaking, and step out of my shell to meet new friends. A part of me that regrets not getting to teach the next batch of kids who were entering my Penguin class. One of them, a little 2 year old boy, I'd spent pretty much 9-4 everyday with anyways, because his parents worked all the time and we would be his daycare before and after school. I had so much fun with that chap. I'd amuse myself by teaching him big words I doubt most kids in Japan knew. I can still hear him in my head, saying things like "Tibia...Patella....Fu-ran-ken-shtine...Fu-ree-dam!!!" I'd gotten to know his sisters really well too, since the 3 of them took the optional Saturday class. And of course, I got to know his Mom. I remember dreading telling her, anyone at school, that I was leaving, but especially her. I wasn't afraid that she (or anyone) would get mad. I knew that when I told her, I'd feel an overwhelming feeling of "I could've helped ____ so much, but I'm letting you down by leaving." And I did. His mom cried when I told her. Heck, I cried when I told her. Everyone freaking cried. It was FUCKING TORTURE. I felt and still feel guilty for having left after only a year. I wish I could've grown some balls and stayed there for 4 at least. If I had sucked at my job, I wouldn't have felt as bad leaving. But when you do a good job at something, it makes people sadder when you leave.<br />
<br />
When my Japanese boss came out this summer with some students, I took her out to lunch to catch up. We talked about loads of fun things, we always did have fun times together. Once when we were in Korea together, we went to get some lunch. We got a ton of mini plates with small servings on them, and she got a bowl of noodles. We had chopsticks, nothing else. She lifted some noodles from her bowl, but they were super long. She raised her hand high above her head, but the end of the noodles was still in the bowl. I'd never seen anything so crazy, we were trying not to look like newbies making a spectacle. Eventually a server noticed, came over, and pointed to some Scissors tucked in a drawer on the table. They had freaking noodle-scissors. Korea. HA! Hilarious. Anyway, along the way, I asked about the students, and discovered that the teacher who'd taken my place was half japanese and rarely spoke English with the kids. I can't tell you how mad I was when I heard about this. My little GENIUS 2 year old was by now a 4 year old who speaks less English than when he was following me around during day-care. I'm still pissed about it. Also, the current Whale (oldest class) teacher is lazy with MY PENGUIN CLASS and disrespectful to the other teachers. I WANT TO FREAKING KILL HIM. AARLKJDSFLSDOFHEOIHFAOIGFASODIGfj<br />
<br />
Everything was going so well my year. I got told many times that usually the new teacher brought drama to most big events in the school year, but that my year there, it was the first year of smooth sailing, with everyone helping each other out. Apparently most people who apply for positions like mine are just looking for a plane ticket to Japan. ASSES!!!! These are people's lives they're messing with!!<br />
<br />
Not only are there 2 male teachers who don't know how to do their job, but Minori is struggling with some very hard situations out there, and because venting is not really a thing in Japan, the only person she feels ok venting to is me, but we can't call each other too much due to our crazy schedules. But my heart is aching for the shit she's going through, and what the school is going through, and it's overwhelming to feel and think about.<br />
<br />
Ever since I left, a part of me has wanted to go back. And I could. I've been told countless times that I'll always have job anytime if I want to take it. Which only makes NOT taking it harder.<br />
<br />
But I love my job here too. It's the first time I've put myself in the path of a career I actually went to school for. And I enjoy it, and the people I work with too. And the idea of leaving it makes me feel like I did when I told ___'s Mom that I was leaving. <br />
<br />
And now comes the fucking cherry on top. One of those male teachers I was bitching about, is apparently giving his MONTH notice. I got a text about it a few hours ago. YOU CAN'T GIVE A MONTH NOTICE FOR A JOB LIKE THIS. You have to give at least 6, or 8 if you can manage it!! It's difficult to find someone willing to take on a job as big as that!!! It's not just watching kids from 10-3 while they color or play. They're not allowed to speak Japanese in school. There's a detailed schedule of subjects that need to be learned each month. There's a huuuuuge amount of prepping you have to do for each art project (2-3 a week. If you never read my blogs about how much that entails, then read on in ignorance.), there's helping them memorize and perform songs, dances and a freakin play at christmas. A 15 minute play....with lines.....performed by 3-4 year olds,,,,,,IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE. So much stuff. And most people would get overwhelmed and bail. But toughing it out reaps the best rewards, so well worth it. What I wouldn't give to be able to refer people that I trusted for that kind of job. But the only people I honestly think have that kind of work ethic are my sisters and parents. Yes, they'd occasionally scream and feel a little bonkers from the huge workload placed on their shoulders, but they wouldn't give up, they'd keep going. And maybe I only had a huge workload because I brought it on myself. I wanted each thing to be special for the kids, I wanted them to enjoy their art projects, and for things to look and sound good. I've been told that one of these bad male teachers gave the same art assignment 3 weeks in a row. BUTTFACE! These kids are so smart, and they are getting put under the charge of a lazy butt. And it feels terrible. I could've done something. None of the teachers there come from a culture where confrontation and openness is a thing. I DO. I could've talked reasonably about things with those teachers, and if they didn't listen, I could've swatted them upside the head and at least warned Mihoko that she should start looking for a new teacher sooner. I could've at LEAST helped those classes. I don't care if it would've added more work for me, those kids deserve to have a teacher that wants them to learn and have fun.<br />
<br />
<br />
AREOADLKFASF.<br />
<br />
Ms Mihoko's text asked me if I knew of anyone who'd be available to go teach at the school starting anytime between the 21st-26th of SEPTEMBER. THIS IS THE MOST INSANE TIME FOR ANYONE TO BEGIN TEACHING THERE. #1, sports day is just around the corner so the kids have to start rehearsing a dance you have to choreograph yourself. #2 The Christmas party is in December, and the kids have to start learning their lines and blocking for that, starting on the first of September as well. So you've got to write a play, design costumes, create props, teach and choreograph 1 sports day dance, and 2 christmas play songs/dances. It's the craziest time of the year.<br />
<br />
...It's also the busiest time of the year for MT Pit. Man...if the fall was the slow season for MT Pit I would've volunteered immediately. I've already been thinking about asking my MT Pit boss if I can bring my computer and hard drives to Japan for the summer so I can help do summer school. Next year of course. Although, while I don't see much of my family these days, I'd see even LESS of them if I moved back to Japan.ERK<br />

adlifawpe oirupaeoiutr-w47n vpfa This sounds so crazy right? I can't make up my mind, and I do a good job at both jobs, and both would be sad if I wasn't working for them, and they both make me happy, and they both require a lot of time to train whoever takes my place......ASDLFIjhwqeoir hqpowir qpw8uv tp9q48 ertpqehjgn<br />

I want to talk about seeing Hateful 8 last night, but I'm worried it will raise/lower expectations of people who read this. So....I'll just put some reactions I had to some vague bits</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The music, costumes, location were all really good. The acting was awesome.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The music at the beginning gets you amped up for whatever lies ahead, but at the same time, you know it's not good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

As soon as they are all in the cabin, you get suspicious of everyone.</div>

At some point the girls started getting tired, so we started playing a game I call "Guess the disney character". Where I'd give them tiny clues and they'd guess. Eventually Maddie took it to a crazy level where she'd have me trying to guess someone who'd turnout to be one of the squirrels from Sleeping Beauty. The Shmuck.</div>

This was really soon after I'd gotten back, when Sarah, Dad and I had been digging the fence post holes. This one had a huge rotted roots, so we tried burning the roots. Worked....to a degree ha ha ha.</div>

We had to tar the bottom parts of the posts, to keep them from rotting underground. Sometimes I'd space that it was on my gloves, and scratch an itch. Tar is not fun to remove.</div>

Ok so we went up to the cabin, had an awesome time, and I absolutely sucked at horse shoes. I played it a LOT, and got worse, if anything ha ha ha. It didn't help that Dad would be watching and laughing at how I'd try to prep before each throw, the scum bucket. Any who, this is not from one of my throws. Its from the more experienced people on the other side, Grandpa and Dad. Their throws were intense.</div>

About a year ago, Garrett and I had planned a road trip to Montana's Going-To-The-Sun road. Incredibly scenic, and location of The Shining & Forrest Gump. But due to getting a 9-5 job around the same time we'd planned on the trip, we had to postpone it. We discovered that the road is under serious construction right now, so we're going to wait for it to be all finished up. Road trip CHANGE! Where did I want to go that wasn't too far, and I'd never been to before? The Redwoods of course.</div>

We planned to leave after I ran Aida on Friday night. Before going, we made a stop at the store and stocked up on snacks. I was pretty happy we chose a lot of fruits and veggies.</div>

We were walking on a forest trail and found the end section of a fallen tree. We decided to hop on it and walk down to the fallen trunk section (which surprisingly took a while). Never thought the trunk would be this huge!</div>

One of the craziest things about the Redwoods was how HUGE everything was, and how quiet it was. Another crazy thing was that unless you had something in the photo to put the trees to scale, a photo would never show how huge the trees are!</div>

There aren't any big chain or able stores out there, everything seems like you've walked into the 70's. Local owned everything. We would fill our water bottles at little wells at the forest centers. It was kind of creepy to see how white it came out at first, but it cleared up pretty quickly.</div>

I knew that when I arrived at Tasha's house, I'd be starting up exercising again. I'm a big fan of running, although I had to cut down on running in Japan, which got me out of shape.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was super stoked to get back into running! Tash and Dewy taught me how to make </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
protein pancakes (egg, oatmeal, cinnamon, vanilla, almond milk)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are delicious! I got in the habit of waking up at 7 to eat breakfast with everyone, and then Tash and I would work out at 9.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m_IpsqBvRG4/VUItmqbn04I/AAAAAAAAG5s/Pcz-umJRxrY/s1600/DSC06372.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m_IpsqBvRG4/VUItmqbn04I/AAAAAAAAG5s/Pcz-umJRxrY/s1600/DSC06372.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Mon, Wed, Fri we'd go to the gym and do weights & running, while Tue & Thurs had us running outside, P90X, or running up & down Tasha's 2 staircases 50 times. My favorite one is running outside. It's finally warm outside, and Tasha lives by river with a jogging path next to it. So pretty!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CfuOgRm3L0Q/VUItXS3jO3I/AAAAAAAAG5g/V5N28kcyawM/s1600/IMG_2283.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CfuOgRm3L0Q/VUItXS3jO3I/AAAAAAAAG5g/V5N28kcyawM/s1600/IMG_2283.JPG" height="239" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd assumed that things would be difficult in the beginning, which of course was true. I felt like Jabba the Hut. I got shin splints, my face stayed beet red for a few hours, and the longest I could run without walking was 8 minutes. Did I mention Tasha regularly runs for an hour? I understood that it was all due to not running much last year, but I was still mad at myself. Back in Utah, I'd gotten to the point where I felt like a bullet when I ran, and I loved running. So even though I was frustrated and slow compared to Tasha, I just kept reminding myself that I'd gone through all of this before and succeeded. Knowing that helped me keep going.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tash is the best workout buddy ever. At first I felt bad when we would run outside, because I'd have to stop and walk a lot. She'd stop and walk with me even though I knew she had plenty of energy to keep going. She'd also be really positive and motivating, and she'd time my runs to show me that I was improving. Timing my runs motivated me to try beating my previous time every day. I don't think I'd have made as much progress if Tash hadn't been here! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few days ago, I'd worked up to running for an hour straight. I don't think I've ever run that long in my life. I was so freaking proud of myself that I sprinted for the last minute. It was a big day for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is from today's workout. It was chilly, but I'm finally at the point where I enjoy it again. I still have random days where my energy doesn't feel very high, but I push through them and feel great afterwards. I'd always hated running outside til I tried it here, so I hope I can keep with it back in Utah. Tash has a busy life, so we can only run for an hour each day. So now my goal will be to keep achieving that hour mark, and hopefully start adding more speed into my run. Thank you Tash, for your motivation, and for helping me get back into working out!</div>

Just discovered Simon and Liam have a bearded dragon lizard. Is it just me, or did the movie "How to Train Your Dragon" suddenly make this little guy look really cute?</div>

Aaaaaand here's a picture of a fun/crazy night. It was a military ball I got invited to by Kyle, a friend of mine out here. Luckily, one of Tasha's neighbors (Kristina and her husband) came along as well. Yay for Kristina, because she got me loosened up and chatty, not to mention she lent me a dress to use ha ha! There were some German officers seated at our table, Henrich and Stephan, who were a hoot. There were also lots of British officers, and I gravitated towards chatting lots with 2 officers named Phil and Prahkesh. And then I hung out a lot with Kyle's batch of friends, including a Sergeant Bassa who taught me some very energetic polish swing moves on the dance floor ha ha ha. It was a fun night!</div>

On our way out we noticed something quite random. A gathering of maybe 30-40 dogs of this breed. Huge fluffers. They looked adorable, and I still have no idea why they were all gathering outside the gates.</div>

Before we got to the Netherlands, we made a little detour to Bonn, Germany. Tash had me do some of the driving in Bonn, which was fun but slightly scary. Getting used to the gas/break pedal sensitivity levels, as well as the unfamiliar traffic layouts of Germany, was crazy but fun. </div>

Tash, Rachel and I are Pinterest users, and this street in Bonn comes up a lot when you type "Europe Travel" in Pinterest. Luckily for us it was on the way to our destination! I can't believe we happened to be traveling in that direction while this street was in full bloom! </div>

Amstah-dam!!! I'm sorry to say I don't feel like I got any drop dead amazing photos of this gorgeous city. But after having seen a few big cities on my travels, I can safely say Amsterdam lives up to it's picturesque awesomeness. I LOVED it! I wish we could've had one more day to walk around!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The architecture was amazing, the streets had an awesome feel to them, there were so many languages being spoken, and pretty much everyone spoke perfect English if we talked to them. </div>

We saw a flee market and immediately parked. I could've happily gone broke in this one shop, the stuff was so COOOOL. We bought some beautiful tiny paintings with detailed frames, as well as some pottery. Tash had her eye on a really intricate silver shield up on a wall here, but it was a bit too expensive for her liking. </div>

2 things here. #1: I'd spaced that Marijuana is most definitely legal here, and while I didn't smell any being smoked (luckily), we saw lots of it being sold in many forms, over on the left. #2: Mom, Tash and I had a bit of a laugh when we saw the guy hanging on the right ha ha ha. Are old Teletubbies a flee market staple in Europe? Sheesh ha ha</div>

Ok. The XXX symbol. When we'd first started walking around the city, we saw tons of red & black XXX flags, banners, and symbols everywhere. I didn't know much about Amsterdam, but our friend Rachel said that's the symbol for the red light district. We saw these symbols EVERYWHERE, but it was a bit confusing because the symbol kept popping up on things like clocks or the rug inside the freaking opera house (near where we parked). </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When we found some Wifi, we looked the symbol up and discovered that it also happens to be the Coat of Arms to a famous Amsterdam Saint. So I don't know the ratio of Coat-of-Arms vs Red Light District when it came to this symbol, I'm just grateful we didn't walk past any obvious "houses of repute" ha ha!</div>

They have wide bike lanes along every street, traffic lights for the bikes, it was so interesting! Even in the quiet small town we slept in, there were bike lanes, and our lodgers gave us free use of their bikes during our stay. Definitely a Netherland staple.</div>

Italy and Switzerland were both AMAZING. But they were both completely different kinds of AMAZING, which was so strange to transition to so quickly.<br />
<br />
Liz had a friend who hooked us up with 2 nights at some lodge in the Swiss Alps. We didn't look up anything about it, we just took her word for it and swoosh off we went.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
We had to switch from Euros to Swiss Francs, everything got ridiculously expensive, and the mountains went into steep mode.<br />
And apparently they are working on a UFO prototype or something.</div>

While driving, Dewy kept joking that the lodge was going to end up being some guy's garage, and he'd come out and meet us wearing a wife-beater. Dewy and Liz had looked up stuff about the place, but I had no idea where or what the place would look like.<br />

<br />
We made it to the Jungfrau region! I kept thinking of lyrics from a musical where they talk about singing by the Jungfrau (J sounds like Y). Well…the only singing I could possibly imagine here would be a good yodel. Or I guess it's Jodel. …Apparently there's a Jungfrau theme park.<br />

Well…it turns out that Liz has a very verrrrrry nice connection. We were given the Mozart Suite. There was another suite on the second floor, but no one was occupying it, so we had the whole thing to ourselves. I think everyone was in shock at how nice it was.<br />

An entire floor of balcony space. It was one of those moments where you look around all googly-eyed, thinking to yourself, "wwwooooooowwwww". We found out that during the off season (which we arrived during), our suite cost around $700 a night. WOW.<br />

We went down to the main lodge restaurant for dinner. Twas expensive, but since the housing was free, we splurged. We didn't take pics of the food, but it was amazing. We got a cheese platter, where you went into a room with cheese blocks and got to choose from like 20 cheeses we'd never heard of. And of course, you can't go to Switzerland without having some Swiss cheese.<br />

I figured what better time to try Apple Strudel. So I took it out to the balcony and gave it an overly dramatic "Strudel in the ALPS" shot. Everything we did here needed a "-in the ALPS." added to the end of it, it felt so crazy to be there. We kept looking out the window, surprised at how close the mountains were. So steep!<br />

Dewy hopped up a balcony to get to us. We had planned on going to the neighboring town, but in our haste to get on the train, we boarded the wrong one. It was one that took us straight back to Levanto ha ha ha! The next train didn't go in the other direction for another hour, so we decided to go have our Easter Egg hunt. Easter in Italy!</div>

We made our way over to a tunnel that led to Vernazza, the next town.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The rain got worse and worse, and although we had umbrellas, we had little boys traveling with us, and we didn't want them to get sick. We made our way back to the train and went back to Levanto. The trains were packed. Liz kept our technology and wallets dry in a backpack under her jacket. She reminded me a little bit of Winnie the Pooh.</div>

We drove back to the apartment and got some food for the boys. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather started to improve around 4-ish, so we decided to try driving over to Vernazza instead of taking the train. I'd say there are definite advantages and disadvantages to both driving and the train. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-46wDtO0RxY0/VSZm9khkKfI/AAAAAAAAGKE/jA9CMmBvL9E/s1600/DSC06227.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-46wDtO0RxY0/VSZm9khkKfI/AAAAAAAAGKE/jA9CMmBvL9E/s1600/DSC06227.jpg" height="320" width="221" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A big advantage of driving is the view. It's breathtaking. We could see the sun reflecting off the sea waaaaay out there. Tash was the main scenery photographer on this day, because fate decided to give me a close-up view of the grassy mountain every time Tasha and I switched seats in the car. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not kidding, EVERY TIME we decided to stop the car so I could try taking pictures of the ocean, the road would turn so that I'd be looking at this kind of thing. I eventually gave up and had Tasha do it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-caj4AI0aPsE/VSZnLjOLt2I/AAAAAAAAGLE/u4XumqrYZz4/s1600/DSC_0533.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-caj4AI0aPsE/VSZnLjOLt2I/AAAAAAAAGLE/u4XumqrYZz4/s1600/DSC_0533.JPG" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A big disadvantage to driving between towns is that it takes longer than the train, and the roads are super narrow and right along the cliffs. It was scary as hell. We soon found that people would honk their horns when they neared a sharp corner around the mountain. And imagine how fun it was when a car came from the opposite direction. It was a narrow ONE LANE road. Insanity. Again…bravo to Dewy's driving.</div>

We had to park up in the mountains and walk down the windy roads to get to Vernazza. I can't imagine how much crazier this place is during tourist season. Anyway, on our walk down, we saw lots and lots of decrepit structures.</div>

While walking down, I couldn't stop wondering when these buildings were built, what kind of community it was, why they built where they built…there were lots of questions on my mind. </div>

…I can see why people may have built and then decided to abandon their homes. Apparently this area has lots of mudslides. I'm glad I learned of this AFTER we finished the Vernazza drive.</div>

The water and weather causes the paint jobs to wear down quickly, so there were lots of buildings that needed a pick-me-up. We found a little place to eat in the square. While we waited for the food, Wesley tried to get up the nerve to go play ball with some boys. He is such a sport man.</div>

Wes, Liz and I went on a little exploration trip while we waited for our food. We walked over to an old watchtower (I read that this area used to have frequent pirate attacks). Wesley was stoked to be able to climb about a bit.</div>

Tash and I had this thing going where we'd both always want to order the same dish, so we ended up both choosing 2 dishes we both liked and sharing them. I'd wanted to get this to try some olives. Luckily for me, Tash doesn't like olives, so I could munch on them all I wanted! Olives, artichoke, mushrooms, and ham. So good!</div>

Tash and I are the seafood lovers in the group, so we also got a platter of mussels. Oh…my…goooosh. They were amazing. I loved knowing that the lemon was probably picked off a nearby tree, and it made the mussels taste even better! They tasted like they'd just been pulled out of the ocean. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Renting out someone's apartment for a weekend is the BEST THING EVER. Our first one might have been a little…interesting, but when we finally arrived in Levanto, we stayed in the coolest place EVER.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We found ourselves winding our way up a hill in the middle of the Levanto valley. It was gorgeous.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a small patch of the thousands of olive trees out there. The green strings are nets tied between the trees, they get spread out during olive season, so I'm told.</div>

The roads are suicidally narrow, everything got terraced, but it deterred us not. We found a temporary spot to park where we searched for our apartment.</div>

First off we must thank Dewy for doing an insane amount of driving over the past few days. ESPECIALLY at Cinque Terre. Those are not roads to be trifled with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were packed and ready for the drive as soon as Dewy finished work on Thursday night. </div>

I started taking pictures the morning after we first took off. We rented someone's apartment for the night, in Largo de Garda…I think? All I know is that it was quite dark during our drive there, but you knew you were in Italy when the mountains sprouted and the roads got ridiculously winding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the apartment. I think renting apartments is 10 times funner than hotels. This apartment was up in a little valley, the building wasn't photogenic, but it was comfortable.</div>

Back on the road again. Now that it was daytime, we could see what we were driving through. Not surprised to see vineyards, but it was awesome to see them pretty much EVERYWHERE.</div>

While driving in the first mountain region, we saw lots of terraced vineyards, castles, and we started getting a good idea of the general architectural stuff most houses had.</div>

After a good 5 hours or so, we started getting back into mountains again. There are so many little groups of houses that pop up on random parts of the mountains, church included. Loved looking at the buildings!</div>

First off can I say that it's a freaking BLIZZARD OUTSIDE? It's been on and off hailing and snowing all day. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON. I came here for good weather dash it all. I'm blaming this on Liz. Weather Gremlin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anywho. We woke up this morning and went down for breakfast. Whilst eating, Tasha and Dewy successfully duped Liz and I into believing she was prego. It was early in the morning, of COURSE I fell for it. I was quite excited for a sec, until they shouted April Fools. Oh Goodness. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, today we went about grabbing supplies for a surprise birthday party for Dewy. We'll driving on his birthday, so we thought we'd have a birthday celebration today. I may have accidentally mentioned it to him, not realizing it was a surprise. I got quite the glare from Tash. A humorous, guilt-ridden glare ha ha ha! Blast it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We bought some fun little props.</div>

The Birthday Massacre all revolved around the cake. We had this idea to design a flexed arm as the theme, but we had a disaster of a time taking the cakes out of their pans. Spreading the frosting continued to flake the cake, so I started packing the crumbs, Tash dribbled the frosting on top, Liz rescued the sides, and then Tash used some magnificent words telling me of how it was up to me to save this cake. I put Dewy in his special Deep V shirt, but my laughter mixed with grimacing moans at the horror which I created only made it worse. In the end, we packed as many sprinkles as we could on top to hide the crumbling exterior. It looked like a decaying body. Tash mixed up this mustard color frosting and started putting dots on the edge, but it exploded at the back of the cake, it looked like puke. ha ha ha we were laughing so much during this tragic creation. The candles shoved everywhere helped a bit, and in the end…after having given up hope of any type of decent cake design….we just put it on the table and let it be. Twas what it twas.</div>

Luckily, Liz is a gluten free woman, so we bought one more cake mix for her. Tash wouldn't even let me LOOK at it, for fear I'd kill that cake too. Lo and behold, it was adorable.</div>

Dewy arrived home, and we set off with practically gutting this poor piñata. Tash was making all these noises like "buzz buzz….caaawww!" which made it only seem more terrible when Dewy severed it's head from it's body…. we mounted the head on the wall for a bit. ha ha ha</div>

Haaaapppyyy Birrrrthdayyy song. We'd eaten a lovely dinner of Chicken Alfredo with Veggies. Courtesy of Liz. She was probably the only one who didn't kill the initial cake, but since it was Liz, we immediately blamed her for it when Dewy walked through the door. Bwa ha ha.</div>

Since it was already a shmuck of a cake, Dewy let Wesley do the cake cutting. Wesley went straight for Dewy's face. I asked him what he was doing, and he said, (I kid you not) "Me cutting Daddy!" He promptly slabbed Dewy's frosting head onto Dewy's plate. Wesley cut only the frosting bit, so Dewy cut in for the actual cake. That's when all of our efforts at hiding the cake went to pot, for when he made his incision, the cake crumbs crumbled all over the place. He swept them onto his plate like a pile of dry mashed potatoes. This entire ordeal was terribly hilarious. It amused Dewy to no bounds. Scroll down for a better visual.</div>

So after we'd all eaten our crumb piles, Tash leaned back in her chair, looked at the remainder of the cake, and said, "Well what should we do with the rest of it?" I looked at her, and she had an evil glint in her eye. I picked up on her little hint and thought she wanted me to prepare the camera while she did the deed. She went over and hugged Dewy, wishing him a happy birthday. All was cuteness when I saw the face below. I realized she was holding him stationary and wanted me to do it. I tried hinting to Liz, so I could film it, but she wasn't picking up on it fast enough, so I put my camera down and took him out with that glorious cake.</div>

The games were all really fast paced and crazy. Dewy's team made it easily to the final showdown game. It was a dirty game, the ref wasn't calling out some really dirty moves done by the other team, and there were a few moments the whole crowd cringed. There were injuries. Dewy got some huge bruises and a big old scrape up the side of his leg. It looked bad. That stupid ref! </div>

Ah. Rugby never ceased to surprise me. After the games finished, we ran back and packed the kids in the car. We drove back to the field area to say bye to Dewy, and came upon this. A Rugby "Zulu". It seems that when a new player makes his first goal, they do this at the end of the game. Many a shlong blew in the beeze as it's owner ran from goal post to goal post ha ha ha! Luckily this is the OTHER team, not Dewy's. I think I would've screamed and ducked for cover if it had been the Titans.</div>

Alrighty. The Prague day. The closest airport to Tash is across the border in Prague. Today was Mom's last day, so we did some sight seeing there! We had to pack lots of luggage, and Tasha's big stroller, so Tuck enjoyed a leg prop for a bit.</div>

Hmmm some observations on Prague. It's definitely got it's beauty and the "wow" factor, but it does have a little bit of a ghetto side to it. The further you are from the main tourist attractions, the more graffiti you encounter.</div>

We thought we'd parked close to the Old Town Square, but we hadn't. We'd parked close to a small church. Which was a-ok, we checked it out anyway. It's Easter week, so they had Easter markets everywhere. We checked this one out before driving closer to the other area.</div>

The boys had a blast. You have to take slides to get to the lower levels during the tour, and the boys loved it! You get to ride a boat across an underground lake, which was fun. They had a light show on the lake too. My memories of this place make me think that the cave was remodeled somehow. I don't remember the slides being as long and steep as they are now. It was fun though. Imagine the tour group getting to listen to me and mom screaming down the slide. </div>

So to the right of the church, there's another courtyard. In that courtyard is one of those newfangled modern sculpture/statues. It's a huuuuuge gold ball with a human statue on top. I found the initials interesting.</div>

I need a day to just sit still for a little bit. I'm still quite jet-lagged, and Tash has me poppin caffeine pills. I'm hoping I'll have enough time to sit still to do this. Tasha wants to go work out, which I doooon't quite want to do yet.</div>

Max is so interesting. He talks with his eyes, and he totally understands what you say. He'll do one of those fake cries to get picked up, and I'll just mimic it right back, and he'll look at me with this "touché" look. We've become good chums. </div>
