Around the neighborhood

Today Bret and I went for a walk. Why is this significant? Well from the moment we arrived in Saijo, we have either been at work or sick in bed. I'm talking 14-hours of sleep a night on the weekends and drinking soup as our main recreational activity. I'm still a bit stuffed up, and Bret thinks he may have caught something new from one of his students, but our spirits are a little higher.

We walked from our house to Citizens Forest, which is really more of a park. More pictures from around the city to come, there are a lot of strange and interesting things about it. Thanks for reading!




Beer in a vending machine!












Shrine maintenance

Funny sign next to a telephone pole


Just some wild flowers blooming in the middle of November, no big deal.



Sign at the grocery store :)


Outside of the grocery store. The mountains were smokey looking. Ignore the telephone wires, this isn't a very good angle
