Our schedule here is a little odd, because we work opposite of when the Japanese people are working (because obviously they can't have a reading session with us when they are at work. Our work week begins on Wednesday and ends on Sunday (weekend is Monday & Tuesday), that way we can be available to them when they are available. So, we had our info. meeting on Thursday, our first reading days Friday-Sunday, and our first free days were Monday and Tuesday. Monday we sat around the hourse watching the office because we were all so tired from our first week of travel. Tuesday we did a lot more walking around Numazu and went to a private little art gallery, which was fun. So here is a new photo montage. I will update next Monday more about my readers and how our sessions are going!
A painting of Fuji at the gallery.
All of the manhole covers look like this.
Beautiful flowers are everywhere!
If Grandad lived in Japan, he would drive this mini version of his car!
The art gallery served green tea. It was beautiful, but utterly disgusting.
Jeanette thought this old organ was amazing.
A picture of cherry blossoms at the gallery.
Monument to an important Buddhist monk in Thousand Tree Park.
The metal processing plant on the harbor. The truck squashes the scrap metal into cubes and then stacks them in a pile. I run by this on the beach.
Tall and skinny Japanese trees!
Jeanette has become truly Japanese! She has adopted the umbrella - to - stay - shady technique.
Yes, we are so cool we drink sweat. Pocari Sweat. Yum - O!
The tsunami gate... looks like something from the future!
Cute stray cats are everywhere!!!
A Shinto shrine in the park.
