Sunny days,oh yah!

A moment in co-ordinated kimonos...sending our love to all. And had a swim for in this lovely indoor/ outdoor spa...getting the kinks out with all the great jets.

A miniature train set zooming around .. for Quin Einer. It's called the Shinkazen and everyone says it's the best train ... What do you think?

A napkin fold we've never seen before.... cute,eh?

If they get this bikeway cleared of sand it will be a world class destination ride. We got about 3 fantastic km. on it in the sunshine. You would not believe the money and effort goig into saving the coastline here from storms & tsunami.

Still chilly being so near the Alps.

Cool bike parking lot under the train station. The only question was, "which of the seven tunnels lead to the street we wanted. Don't tell us, "just read the signs,". We've only got a little Japanese.

Suddenly an east coast Canadian home in the middle of ancient Kanazawa. 

Evening light near a canal.

Fun chats in cafes over dinner 

bring a big new city down to human size.

Beautiful ceramics in the Samurai section on this city.

Buddha sends a peaceful goodnight to all.
