More Blossoms and a Rainbow

So yesterday Jenna & I were set to go to Asahi Viewpoint but we ended up just going down to the Coop for groceries because Jenna hurt her knee while running up the hill drunk Saturday night. I don't know the exact circumstances because I wasn't there but from what she said Jeremy & she decided to run up and then she tried to stop, he grabbed her arm to keep dragging her along and she tripped & fell. So anyway she has a big scrape on her knee and because her leg hurt she couldn't walk down to the Coop to buy food & go to Asahi. So I decided to walk down with her ( I needed milk) and then we could walk back up as part of our exercise. Unfortunately I hate walking up that freakin' mountain. It is evil incarnate & I'm always sweaty and gross by the time we get back to the top. Sucks so much.

Anyway I got some more pics of cherry blossoms as we were on our way down the mountain & then when we came back home we had just made it up the drive & were in front of the building when it started to sprinkle. It rained! This big, huge rainstorm started and lasted for about 30 min. Then I heard something from outside my window & it was Eagle, Pierre, Seghir, and Young Eun. Eagle had bought a 13,000 yen collapsable/folding bicycle. Probably the most coolest & yet impractical item I've ever seen bought here. It's bright orange and silver and I got to test drive it. Pretty cool actually but of course I am very short so eagle had to put the seat down to like the very lowest possible setting. After that though the rain stopped (yes I rode it in the rain) and the coolest thing happened. A rainbow came out! Actually for a second there was a double rainbow but the second one was very faint & disappeared after a few seconds. Pretty spiffy though. So here are some pics from that. Enjoy!
