| A very impressive sakura tree trunk--must be over 60 years old. |

Rest Stop Restrooms We
 |
| I will say that rest stop restrooms have improved immensely. These first three are in the same place. |
 |
| These sinks are slanted so it prevents water spilling on the floor. |
 |
| This is another stop that had a similar restroom |
 |
| The last place we stopped had this special room for babies. The changing table says Mommy's Helper and has just a tiny kid-toilet. So cute! |
 |
| Another in the same place for handicapped. |
Trip to Zama, Japan
 |
| We are headed to Tokyo where we will be in a Missions Conference at Lighthouse Baptist Church near Camp Zama. The ride there was gorgeous with oodles of delicate-pink ornamental sakura trees all along the highway and mountains. |
 |
| This bird popped up but not sure about its purpose. |
 |

Spring in Kobe, Japan
 |
| Daffodils by the ramp |
 |
| Sakura bloomed early this year. So pretty, but all fluff and no fruit :-( |
 |
| Our sakuranbo tree in the back by the shed. Should have many kilos of fruit come May/June. |
 |
| Sara found this six-legged spider in the house. Odd little thing. |
 |
| A multi-flower headed jonquil--first of its kind I've seen. |
 |
| Foreground has tulips and iris. Background has wheat--an experiment this year. |
