Ho-Ho-Hokkaido!

Last weekend, Michael and I went with a group up to Hokkaido. We had a great time - but it was cold! Such a short time living in mild and sunny Tokyo has ruined us! How will we ever come back to the Midwest winters???

The most important building in Hokkaido - the Sapporo Beer Museum!

Ice village - we drove about an hour outside of Sapporo to see this village built entirely out of ice that they light at night. (Alberto - this was true Eiskunst!)

Ice slide at the ice village - tons o' fun.

Sapporo Clock Tower. Doesn't it look like town hall in some small Midwestern town?

Sapporo TV Tower.

Sapporo is known for crab - so we chowed down the first night there. It was amazing.

Skiing - in the top left corner you can see the ocean.
