A few photos from the last week of 2005 
A Christmas party in my apartment with friends and co-teachers. Nice East-West menu--I made French Onion soup (Woodard Christmas Eve tradition) and served sushi along with it...
A wonderful rotenburo/outdoor bath in Yamagata prefecture (to the west of Miyagi), about an hour from Naruko. While we are getting plenty of snow, the West coast of Japan gets plenty more. There was well over a meter on the ground and it was snowing the entire afternoon that I was there.
The town of Obanazawa (in Yamagata), which defines the word quaint. An old silver-mining town, now just for tourists and onsen-goers. Absolutely buried in snow the day I went. If you look closely, you can see a man shovelling shoulder/head high snow off the roof of his house/inn.
