Tent Practice

Fumie grew up going camping several times a year, and has fond memories of it. We're not really the “outdoorsy” type, but we thought it'd be nice to give Anthony the same experience, so we're heading camping for a few days. We borrowed her folks' tent, and her dad and I (and Anthony, of course) practiced setting it up in the living room....

I went to Costco yesterday – there's one an hour south of Kyoto – to get some supplies, but ended up buying a tent. It cost only $120 but is about the size of Rhode Island. The company that makes it (Northpole) has horrible reviews because they apparently make crap, but it only has to last a few days. We'll see.

We're heading out in a few minutes; I won't be posting again until next week.
