Road Trip through Central Hokkaido, June 29 - July 1

The doors to the cabs are always open, and the engine is always running (we think this cuts into their profit margin pretty heavily).  The cabs are immaculate, but in Asahikawa they were all lacking for customers.

We found our way to the most agrarian settings in Central Hokkaido (the advantage of having a car for a few days.)  Alex has decided it's going to be a good wheat harvest this year.

Alex couldn't get to milking a real cow, but this plastic one didn't object to his clammy hands on its udder.  We observed the cheese-making process in Furano, and at the end we sampled some cuttlefish ink cheese (yum).

We have nothing enthusiastic to say about Asahikawa.  We went to the movies.  Harry Potter wasn't out yet, so we caught Star Trek (which both Steve and Na-hura liked.)

Below are three unrepentant flower shots.
Alex frolics among the flowers that we can't name.
Nao-vender is caught candidly smiling, as Alex tries to get her to pose for the right photo among the lavender fields of central Hokkaido.
