In From Hokkaido

Tomorrow it's back to Gunma for me! It's been a fun experience to visit Hokkaido--I saw a couple of cities (Sapporo, Ebetsu, and Otaru) and experienced a lot of Canada-like snow (including a magical stroll through a magical forest) but now it's time to go back home. I'll write a nice long post about my trip soon. Now off to bed--it's another 9-hour traveling day tomorrow!
