Last I left you we'd just arrived at Myojin Pond. We noticed a young couple about to get married. And we just paid our entrance fee! So….let's go and see this pond!!!!
I think the scenery speaks for itself (PS NO trash in sight. None. Zip. Zilch.)
several mallards out and about in the pond.
Does this rock look like a good snack stop? Looks like a perfect place to us!
Snack time!!!!
Let's get out the snacks we bought at the little store earlier today….
It must be good….it's made by the "Hand Made Factory". LOL!!!!
Time to head back and try getting some lunch. Let's quietly observe the in-progress wedding as we leave:
Can you see the wedding couple?
What is that hanging from the trees?
Do you think these are prayers written on sheets and knotted on the string? Do you think they're related to the wedding?
A sign talking about the shrine.
how about lunch???? This such an interesting looking hut:
Love the stream by the hut.
A map of the area with all the alp huts ….
Mark ordering lunch with the help of a very nice lady.
Waiting for lunch! Mark said he ordered two bowls of noodles. What's going on in the background? It looks like somebody is cooking something in the shed….
Let's walk over and see what's happening at the one end of the shed:
Oh! There is someone cooking….interesting way of grilling fish on sticks!
Hmmmm….where are the fish from???
What's in the trap?
Ah ha! Those are the fish they use! Wow! Those are some FRESH fish! I bet they're good!
Waiting for the noodles…
LUNCH!!!!
mushrooms and noodles. great combo!
noodles and beer. breakfast- i mean lunch- of champions!
That was a yummy lunch!
Time to walk back to the inn….stay tuned!
