Japan Adventure

This should cool us off!


And of course I always have my fan this time of year . . .


We started with salmon carpaccio - my new summer favorite!


And Stan ordered an ice-cold, ripe sliced tomato with Italian dressing - yum! We've had this simple summer entree twice at home since . . .


Stan loves tomatoes!


But we shared . . .


And we shared a salad - but we've eaten most of it already. Stan ordered oysters, but they were too hot for me - I only want cool food right now! But I did share the toast.


And we shared ribs - yum!


Back out on the street, we see a lady in kimono that features the Kintai Bridge. I think that she's part of a traditional dance group that we've seen at previous festivals. Notice that she's standing near a painted manhole cover representing Iwakuni. Each community has their own design & they're all beautiful!


Stan wanted to run into Andersen's Bakery for a loaf of bread to take home, but the shelves are almost empty. Don't worry - he found the last one, but they'll be full of fresh goodies again in the morning!
