Miyakonojo, Kyusyu, 2009.12.29

Again with these volcanic eruptions.

Today we went to Miyakonojo, the city where my wife was born. While Mari's father and I were looking after the kids at Mari's sister's house, the place was shaken by a noisy eruption from distant Sakurajima. It was just before 16:00, and it was like someone had backed a car into the house.
