December 3

Beautiful day today, after it snowed about 8-10 inches yesterday. Took advantage of the weather and went for a walk around Katanuma (which according to my Naruko brochure "is the lake whose acidity is the strongest in Japan")





After my walk, had a ball driving some of the backroads, still covered in snow, in my Mini Pajero (which I have dubbed "Paj"). Even found an empty parking lot, that had been untouched by any tracks. I couldnt resist a few (a dozen?) donuts.
