Mameya Video

I guess what I really should have been doing in the 2 year posting absence I had on this blog was posting the videos of trips and shiz that I've been making while here. Whoops. I'll make an update of all the videos from the past couple of years on the next post maybe. Anyway, here's the most recent one. It's of when we went with Yuko's mom and friends to a restaurant called Mameya, south of Matsusaka. A bunch of old ladies live down there and grow their own food from the surrounding fields and use only that food there. Even the tofu that they have is made from the beans that they grow. It's a pretty nice restaurant with lots of traditional Japanese food. And next to the restaurant are their ajisai flower fields, which are pretty sweet. Those flowers are in bloom from May to June though, so you've got to go then to see them. During one season (can't remember which) though, in the absence of ajisai, they have a huge couple of fields of sunflowers. That's pretty sweet too. I'll see if I can find a picture of that later and post it here.

Anyway, here's the video:


Better quality can be viewed here.

As for the sunflower pics, I put 2 of them here.
