Japan's west coast puts "lake effect snow" into some perspective. Today, the folks who participated in yesterday's symposium were driven around to various museums through some serious snow. Alas, it meant having to drop the sake brewery from our itinerary (we made up for it later as our hotel has a "sake museum). So, some pics as it did happen: |
| Gatling gun from Japan's civil wars |
 |
| Uniting Japan was mighty hard |
 |
| On the way to museum memorializing fire raid |
 |
| Surviving pieces of incendiary bomb |
 |
| Shibata castle |
 |
| Army training, sir |
 |
| We were at a regiment's museum. This regiment had a very busy World War II |
 |
| A relatively recently dug up American bomb |
 |
 |
| Yep, Japan sent troops to do reconstruction in Iraq |
 |
| Japan has done some PKO |
 |
| Recruiting women |
 |
| Our group of tourists |
 |
| David Welch choosing among more than a hundred sakes. 500 yen get you five tokens for five samples. Yum. |
 |
| This region has many, many sake distilleries |
 |
| Steamed at the table, one of many dishes we had. Still full |
