Japan Adventure

Stan chatting with a Japanese cowboy. He just stood in this same place for hours!


We're taking a short rest on a relatively smooth stone wall. AND it's a "no smoking" area - yay!


These really cute young teachers came by to visit with us for a while. They asked me to take pictures of them with their cameras, while they ate their "special" bananas, but by the time I remembered to take one of them with mine, they were almost finished. They are teaching in Japan for only 2 years (near Tokyo, I think) and were having a good time.


Prayer messages for the gods being tied onto this string wall.


This man was very proud of his Marine jacket and insignia & we attempted to communicate for a while. He enjoyed practicing English & we enjoyed practicing our very limited Japanese . . .
