Things you might see on a walk to the train station

 Good morning Baby Beau! Hope you are ready for a trip to Yokosuka!
 I took this picture just in case you Washintonians forgot what a blue sky and mountains look like!
 This is about how wide the back streets are, YES this is a two way street! Ha, its crazy! However, cars are much smaller here, people are much smaller and well everything is just smaller here! Really beginning to realize just how big everything in America really is, you would never see a monster size diesel rumbling through the streets here, just wouldn't fit!
 This is a big garden in the middle of a bunch of houses in the city. Pretty neat to see. I almost think the surrounding houses may all share this. Japanese people really like to garden. The landscaping (when people have room for it) is always very nice. No wild lawns or weeds here!
 Dane! He's not something you would generally see on your way to the train station, but I thought I'd take a picture anyways! ;)
 These are big tall mirrors that you would see at the corners of very tight two way roads. Drivers look at these before going up a stretch of street to make sure nobody else is coming... otherwise there might be an issue!
 Some sort of underground walking tunnel.... we have not explored this, but we will ,and we'll let you know what it is.
 These are really cool. They are big car lifts so people can all fit their car in their driveway without having to ask other people to move all the time!! Very organized! Dane likes!! :) The only way it could be better is with a few homemade labels!

 Traditional looking Japanese house. We think these  people are very wealthy to have this style of house and landscaping. It is all very expensive looking.
So these are all some things on our way to the train station that we love to look at! Finding new things every day!
