These last few days brought with them quite a few new adventures…
From language classes, Bible Studies, books, and lots of work…
To much needed baths,
Bailey looking all sweet after a much needed grooming. Yes, I made her pose.
Documenting new journeys,
For holding our adventures
And discovering a flower garden under all the snow.
Anyone know what this is?
From days of celebrating our love,
With pizza straight from the heart of Naples,
Yumba!
Italian pizza…in Japan…who knew!?
To origami class and being all, “visual-spatial”.
A balloon
From special days worth celebrating,
Love this man!
To new (snow covered) vehicles,
And first festival adventures!
Look out world, the directionally challenged one is the Nav…
Entrance to the Lake Towada Snow Fantavista!
We drove south two hours for lots of snow, cold, and lights!
A snow chapel
Inside an igloo bar/restaurant
Festivities
Warm Japanese plum wine in frozen carved out apples!
Fireworks to end the night
To the gloriousness that is Ramen,
Warmed us up!
Soooo goooood
And friends for Bailey,
Sweet Lucy, bandana friends!
More painting,
Chalkboard painted wall—aka, my husband is a GENIUS!!
Sweet cafes,
Cafe Live Forever
Delish scones and espresso
And topping our bellies off on our “extra” day!
Strawberry picking in Nanbu town!
All you can eat while you pick!
Our bellies were happy
Nanbu town is filled with orchards boasting a huge variety of seasonal fruit. I’ll be making this drive again!
The carnage, maybe two cartons of strawberries each?
Kuduo-san. Wanted to just hug her. And no, I’m not wearing heels.
Luf him
Well that about wraps up another week here in the lovely Japan! Continuing to enjoy lots of snow (got a few feet this weekend) and await the arrival of our stuff. Hard to believe we’ve been here almost a month! This city and country is always surprising us with the amount of really awesome things to do and see.
YOU should seriously come visit!
But for reals,
I’ve got a rented couch with your name on it friend..
Oyasumi nasai.
(goodnight)
