Thanksgiving Morning 11/25/10

It's about 8:45 Thursday morning - Thanksgiving Day, and we're leaving to drive to Tsuwano for a relaxing couple of days. It's too sad to spend holidays without family, and I feel less guilty about not cooking if we go somewhere! As we approach the Main Gate, you can see that the trees still have colorful leaves.


School children taking a walking trip near Chuo's grocery store. It's a regular school day in Japan.


Crossing a bridge in Iwakuni. The river is high and calm. It's a beautiful day!


Sign along Hwy 2 advertising Sanzoku - known as the "Chicken Shack" restaurant. We should go & see their Christmas decorations soon!


Driving along the Nishiki River. Look how the sidewalk is built out from the road!
