Mountaintop Barbecue!

I went out with some friends to cook some meat over some flames on the top of a mountain. At this point, it was a few weeks ago, but it was a good time!

We took a gondola up...

to the top of the mountain. You could purchase packs of food that came with meat, noodles, and vegetables, as well as some oil to cook the noodles and vegetables. The grill had both a grate for cooking meat and a pan for cooking the noodles and vegetables on. Parasailers take off from this mountain and land (I think) on a target that was cut into the grass below. It's a pretty nice area, and a good time for a picnic! While we were there, a troop of Japanese boy scouts (mostly girls) were also on top of the mountain. They were so adorable! They were little, couldn't have been more than six, and had squirrel patches, if that means anything. I wouldn't know.

All in all, a fun trip! Interesting to see things that are similar between Americans and Japanese but still so different. Grilling in the park, but with noodles!
