Fuji and basketball.





So about two weeks ago I climbed Mt. Fuji. It took us (me, janet, mark, and elizabeth) 4 hours and 10 minutes to reach the top. As you're climbing you think to yourself,"I will never do this again." Everybody says that. But low and behold as we were in the car driving home I thought to myself, "I could do that again. Darn it!!!" Maybe later though.

Then one week ago me and some friends got tickets to see the 3rd and 4th place games of the FIBA world championship games in Saitama, Japan. We got to see America play Argentina. It was a great game. They were neck-in-neck for most of it, but in the end America pulled ahead. Awesome game. We yelled, screamed, and made friemds with the Japanese surrounding us by coinning the phrase, "U.S.A. Gambare!" Which means, "Come on U.S.A., you can do it, keep fighting!" Fun times.
