I've got another cold (what is it this spring?) so am a little<\/span> extra\nslow on everything... have been sleeping for the last couple of days. Ugh.\nNot fun. This one seems to be short, though... starting to feel better\nalready.<\/p>\n\n

I ended my previous post, Clearing Roof Snow in\nShirakawago<\/a>, at a cafe<\/span> in Shirakawago Village. Just outside the cafe\nthey have a little<\/span> spot that makes for nice photos (and perhaps for nice\nbusiness for the cafe), and the proprietress was kind enough to take a\nsnapshot<\/span> for us...<\/p>\n\n

Looking in the other direction from that spot, one could see a house<\/span>\nwith lots of snow on it, and beyond it a more<\/span> modern house with people (a\ngirl<\/span> and her dad?) clearing snow from the roof...<\/p>\n\n\n

We headed back to the car at the main town parking lot, just before\nwhich I took<\/span> the last photo of the day...<\/p>\n\n
