My Lunchtime Walk

What was I thinking?! I wanted soup for lunch today and decided to make the twenty-minute trek home from the office.

Here is my view of the temple, from my desk.


And the dedicated men working on road construction. Very, very slowly. They are government employees and there seems to be no reason to rush. Here in Furano, a simple curb/sidewalk remodel takes two months or more.


And the abominable snowwoman.


All for a simple cup of miso.
