| People from
Yonezawa have told us basically, "You ain't seen nuthin' yet", but it is
still impressive to us. We've seen about a foot of snow fall in 24 hours
a couple of times. We have heard that in the past that three feet in 24
hours was not too uncommon. Audrey and I figure that we must have brought
some of that warm Georgia air with us from the US! Still, Audrey and I
have enjoyed skiing at a couple of the numerous resorts around the Yonezawa
area. |
This wintry scene is looking
down our street to the center of town. On the right is a little store owned
by our landlord. |
That's our apartment building
on the right. PLEASE SEND MORE MAIL HERE! :) |
Looking into the backyard
from the balcony of our apartment. |
Tom playing in the snow storm
outside Milliken Japan! (I can hear Mom saying now, "Where is that boy's
jacket??") |
This was taken at the Usuegi
Shrine. The moat you see is an ancient moat which used to surround a castle.
A shrine is now where the castle used to be. |
Looking down a street in
Yonezawa. There are many firs trees in and around Yonezawa because of the
climate. |
