Yamaguchi Monthly Market 2/6/11

It's been several years since we've been to the "Monthly First Sunday" Yamaguchi market (it's very large & involves a lot of walking) but with my relatively "new" right knee & my left knee feeling much stronger, I'm ready to try it again. Plus - we're taking our bikes in the back of the car. It's just before 7:30 AM and we're planning to leave about 8 AM. That's Japan's Rising Sun outside my BR balcony. . .


Crossing a river in Iwakuni as we head for Rt 2 & beyond to Yamaguchi City.


Exiting from a short tunnel as we leave town. We're now on Rt 2, heading toward the Sanyo tollroad.


Attractive recycling of old tires . . .
