Four Degrees Celsius

Omi-Imazu, Shiga-ken, Japan

It was a Monday and we didn't have any classes until 6pm, so we decided to take Dave out to visit the Sakamotos in Omi-Imazu. Well, this time unlike when we went there in the New Year Holidays, we decided to walk the 2.6kms from the train station to their house. When Ritsuko and I visited Omi-Imazu with Julia in 2007 we did the same walk, but as you can see from that photo the weather was quite a bit more pleasant! Still we made it on a cold day and the walk also warmed us up pretty well and good too!
Along the way we stopped to show Dave the the street (top right) named after the famous missionary (who "tentmade" as an architect) William Merrell Vories with a Bank, a Post Office and a Church which he designed.
Once we arrived at the Sakamotos' house we enjoyed plenty of good food and fellowship, before we had to head back (by car to the train station this time) to make it back home in time to for the English class.
