More of the trip

So we still didn't know where we were going to go next. We packed up and took the long bus ride to the train station. And then we looked at our wallets. Travelling around Japan is expensive. Instead of heading south to see more of Kansai, we decided we should probably start heading back home. Since we would go through Osaka, we decided to stop at the aquarium- which has the largest tank in the world. Here are some pictures:
This is my first sloth ever. I have always wanted to see one, and even though this was behind glass, I was pretty excited about it. It's eating a banana.

Giant crabs. They were maybe a couple of feet tall.

Eventually, we made it back to my city and it was nice to sleep somewhere free. The next day, we went into Gifu to hike up to the castle. There is a small park at the base of the mountain, and in the park is an insect museum. I have always wanted to go, so we checked it out. It was great!! They had amazing displays and tons of specimens.
