Enjoying the Holidays Around Iwakuni

Construction frogs are still near the Hwy 188 bridge going into downtown Iwakuni.


Cute kids in the L-Style Cafe downtown. Whip out a camera & out comes the peace sign! I like that way of thinking . . .


Happy me!


Cute silverware & dishes used by the kids who sat near us.


Our coffee & cake set . . .


Yum - oops - someone already took a bite of the chocolate . . .


I love the dishes here! Look at the cool shape of the cup's saucer . . .


Inside the Nishiki River Gift Shop and Restaurant - beautiful New Year's arrangement.


Presents wrapped with camellia decoration - the winter flower of Japan.


Stan & friend . . .


Back outside - Stan found some gigantic "apples" hanging from a tree. While we were inside, we kept seeing excited families gathering and posing for photos here.


Driving on Rt 2.


Passing Sanzoku - the famous "Chicken Shack" near Iwakuni. All decorated for the New Year.


And the outside of Panda Recycle Shop, where we always stop - never know what treasures you will find here . . .


We're looking for a low wood table, but found lots of mirrors inside . . .


This car is "Freed" - we really liked the individual yellow lights that make up the turn signal. Haven't seen new US cars recently, so don't know if they look like this . . .


I like these very colorful mirrors at Nafco - our friend Julie is looking for some.


I like these colorful "Happy Buckets" as well.


Available for many uses!


Anyone need a portable dishwasher?


And LED lights can be used all over the house. Just think how much one could save on energy costs!?!?!
