Big Buddha!

 I went on a Girl's Road Trip.  Initially Dan and I planned to go to Sasebo to see Josh in his Cross Country meet.  Sadly, Joshua injured his heel and couldn't run.  Rather than cancel our van and hotel reservations, I invited two of my friends and we went on a road trip.

We left on Friday afternoon and drove to Fukuoka.  We went to see the giant Buddha. I think they said it is the largest statue of a laying down Buddha in the world.  I believe it!  It was HUGE!  There was a lot of other awesome stuff to see and meander through, and it was a really pretty area.

I know, it doesn't look THAT big. 

Well, it is.

It was really cool.  And I took a ton of pictures of the other nifty stuff around:
