Fw:Mt. Fuji
Originally uploaded by thechristine.
climbed the beloved fuji-san last weekend. we made it to about 3,400 meters out of 3,776m. it was fun but exhausting. way too many people on that mountain. it was like disneyland without mickey mouse: one long line up to the summit. we did have captain japan, our tour leader, and he was just as ubiquitous as mickey. his somewhat annoying voice with the stretched out vowels (nishiitaanii-saaan! arre?!), ordering us to walk slowly and to drink water. he stopped us from climbing any further up the mountain because the rain and heavy wind made it too dangerous. we were shocked and disappointed but were too tired by that point to put up much of a fuss. slept for a few hours and woke up at dawn to make our way down the mountain.
