Out on the Town!

Today was one of those awesome days where I got to spend several hours with my two boys. I seriously love those! We decided to take a little walk along the main road by our apartment tonight, snap a few shots, and stretch our legs. Because it's Saturday night, a lot of people were "out and about." Lots of cars and lots of pedestrians. We definitely stuck out as those foreigners stopping to take pictures of the most random, everyday things (such as a vending machine or the road...)

But hey, what's "normal" to one culture is completely unfamiliar to another, so those random little pics make for great memories.

Oh, and on our way back to the apartment, we just had to stop by the 100 yen store (aka Dollar Store) to grab what has rapidly become my favorite Japanese candy bar: Black Thunder. The best way to describe it is crushed up Oreos wrapped in chocolate. The only thing wrong with these little lovelies is the fact that they come in fun size (what's so fun about a mini candy bar anyway?) rather than king size!

Here are some pics. :)

My handsome boys!

A lot of colors on the road

A sweet pic Casey took!

A lot of biking goes on here. I love it! Being able to ride a bike eases the pain of not being able to teach Spinning classes right now. Also, those raised lines on the sidewalk are for blind pedestrians. They are everywhere (the lines, not the blind pedestrians...)

Ah, a familiar face.

Saluting the Colonel

Black Thunder! And...as Casey so lovingly just pointed out...it's upside down. Meh. Not the first time I've done that since we've been here.

Not a pic from the walk. It's the view from our balcony. Miyazaki homes are all quite close to one another. Oh, and we hang out clothes on a clothesline, which I seriously love doing for whatever reason.
