I calmed down

I had a nice weekend trip with some friends to the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. We started at 5:45 am to arrive there before all the other weekend tourists do… but as I told you when I wrote about my Tuck interview, I’m not exactly what is known as “early bird”. But after all we were wise to decide to go early! Not only because we saw the sunrise while driving to the National Park, but also because the streets and the Park were still empty when we arrived there. And around noon, when we drove down the road from Owakudani, people who wanted to go up were stucked in an endless traffic jam… and they probably were for the rest of the day… while we already had our dose of volcanic sulfurous gases (@.@) and already ate the black eggs that are boiled in the hot springs of Owakudani (^_^)… The weather was fine, and when we later enjoyed one of the numerous hot springs we saw Mt. Fuji and some rests of the foliage… a perfect scenery to relax!
And yes, after the detoxication last week... I calmed down a bit. I’m still a kind of nervous about Tuck’s decision, but I don’t check my message board and my inbox ten times a day… and I’m very proud of it!
