Biking in Yanai 9/5/11

Driving in downtown Iwakuni on Hwy 188.


We stopped at L-Style near the station for lunch - today is Labor Day & Stan's out of school. We LOVE their set lunch & salad bar!


After a yummy lunch, we drove back over the Hwy 188 bridge (STILL under construction) to drive to Yanai, south & west of us. Green frogs still hold up the construction guardrails here.


Happy frogs!

Driving along the Seto Inland Sea on Hwy 188 toward Yanai. Gorgeous day!


School children walking (alone!) along the sidewalk on Hwy 188.


Lotus still tall but no longer blooming. A recent typhoon tore up the leaves a bit, but the plants are still good.


A little lady sweeps alongside the highway near some train workers. After a typhoon, all the tracks are "walked" and any & all debris is cleared.
