Snow Day


There was about 2 and a half feet of snow on the ground this morning. There were no trains to or from Tsuruga, and in fact one train got stuck at a station between here and Fukui where they had about 6 feet of snow on the ground. Therefore, I had a snow day!

Story about the snow from Japanese newspaper





Leopalace parking lot




They use water to clear some of the roads, but it isn't really working. Just water snow mix. Up to mid shin. Nice! Thank goodness for rubber boots.

picture club fun




On Yuko's last day in Tsuruga we went to a picture booth, the kind that is typically used by teenage girls who dress up afterschool and have picture taking parties, and took some pics.


Here, in my opinion, is the best one
