Nagano


Two Shinkansen (bullet train - 300km/hr) train routes later we were in lovely Nagano. And off to see the snow monkeys minus the snow. 40 minute walk in to the monkey park and lots of hijinks as they frolicked around. Good time to see babies. 



Martin doesn’t know it yet but I have a grand plan for our old skis. Actually he does know…

Up early this morning and off to the local fruit and vegetable markets. The fruit and vegetable actions were quite enthralling. Lots of sign language. 
Mushroom production a great process to follow through and then we were off into the hills to harvest our own asparagus for lunch. So delicious and fresh. 

Very windy outside the rice co-operative - why did no one tell me about the hair fail?😂. Great information re rice production locally. Japan is almost 100% sufficient in rice production - short grain sticky rice which is the most popular - sticks to your chopsticks best.
