JAPAN ADVENTURE

Welcome to Margie & Stan's Japan Adventure - our photo blog while living on MCAS Iwakuni in beautiful Yamaguchi Prefecture in Western Japan from 8/2004 to present. My photo above is the famous Kintai Bridge right here in Iwakuni. Be sure to check out Blog Archive (below left) for highlights of our travels. And leave us a comment - we'd love to hear from you!

After this, we stopped at a shop for a couple of grilled oysters & the famous Miyajima "maple leaf" cookie, but no pictures . . . sorry. The sun was starting to set & it was getting cooler, so we decided it was time to leave. Here we are waiting on the pier to ride onto the ferry. There are LOTS of people here today . . .


Passing another ferry going over to the island as we return.


Stan peeks at me, as the front of the ferry lowers so we can drive off. It was a little chilly on the ride back -- the sun has set.


Just a couple of blocks' ride & we're back at our car. Normally in Japan, you back in to parking spaces, but we parked "backwards" to make it easier to get the bikes in & out the back. Guess we'll be forgiven for breaking the rules . . .
