Thursday we went to a public bath at a hot springs. It waas a little different :) but very relaxing. The meal we ate there reminded me of an Italian wedding. We ate such a variety of foods, including Kobe beef which is the most expensive beef in Japan. We also spent some time at the longest suspension bridge in the world, 2 1/4 miles long. If one picture is worth a 1000 words I'll add a lengthy chapter here.

One pic is a cross-section of one of the cables used in building the bridge. Wactually took an elevator up onto the bridge.
