I joined Mizuho in Japan for the last few weeks of her month-long stay there. A week driving around the island of Shikoku – ryokans, hot springs and gorges – and a week in downtown Tokyo – concerts, Team Lab installations, great food, sights and experiences and visits with friends and family. A couple from Mexico house and dog sat. Attached are some non-house photos with house photos coming next month (hopefully). Sister and BinLaw came for a visit shortly after our return and we had an early first snowfall on the 25th that was mostly melted a few days later.

And for your viewing pleasure: I finally had the opportunity to try a vertical carousel garage with a turn table, a facility that is ubiquitous in the urban areas of Japan.
