Breakfast in Shirakawa-go: Take 1

October 3, 2012 –

Goooooood morning!!!  

How did you sleep????  I think we're getting used to sleeping on the floor.  Okay, I lied.  It's still hard and our backs hurt.  However, I'm sincerely enjoying the experience!

One sleeping beauty:

Annika, is that really comfortable with your head on the floor like that???

Our breakfast is ready:

Individual cooker with miso paste mixture. I love this stuff!

Lots of small dishes of this and that (+ a VERY salty plum! pucker lips!!!!), miso soup and….a BIG tub of rice (that's what's in that lidded bowl sitting in front of Ava).

We've got a big day planned: a dip in the hot spring, a walk through an open air museum and finally a leisurely stroll around the town to admire all the buildings. 

(PS. I cannot wait to jump into the hot water!!!  My back is ready for the hot springs!!!!)
