However, much as I enjoyed staying in a hotel and not having to do laundry, it was very nice to come back home. And luckily, the weekend weather was nearly perfect、and we spent both days riding and enjoying the fine weather.
Saturday took us winding through the fields of Susono and Gotemba, where the rice was ripe and ready for picking.
Rice, close up:
We also stumbled upon a little horse in a yard of sorts; this was very unusual as people around here simply do not have horses. In fact, this was the first time I've seen a horse anywhere on this side of the country.
Of course, we also made a pit-stop at our favourite beer vendor and savoured a pint while soaking up some of the sun's warming rays.

Love the picture of the rice. Why don't people have horses? Well ok they are expensive as heck to own, but is it a regional thing?
Mostly a country thing - nowhere but really Hokkaido has horses; it's a matter of land, and the extremely high cost of it. People here tear down houses and rebuild regularly - houses come cheap; land, not so much!
