America 2011 Pictures 1

The end of March and beginning of April, Nozomi & I traveled to Oregon and California. It was a little shorter than our previous America trips, but we managed to get lots of visiting and activities packed in. We missed part of the cherry blossom season here in Japan, but made up for that by seeing the peak of the season in the States. I'm going to group these pictures by topic, so this theme is (obviously, I think) "Throatwobbler Mangrove", uh, I mean "Luxury Yacht", oops, I mean "cherry blossoms". (silly Monty Python reference there-check Google if you don't understand and want to know....)

UGH!

We saw the first cockroach at our new apartment. Ugh. It was big, black and shiny. Ugh. It had long, flicking antennae. Ugh. When I tried to catch it in a box, it tried to run away. Ugh. Then we sprayed it, and it tried to FLY away. UGH. We finally caught it and flushed it down the toilet. UGH!! No more gokiburi, please!
The End. (I hope.)
P.S. If you're wondering, "why did he catch it in a box?!" it's because I read that you should never smash cockroaches-some of them carry their eggs just underneath their wings, and if you kill them by hitting or stepping on them, you can spread their eggs, which can hatch. UGH UGH UGH!
