Stroll, stroll, stroll. stroll, a strolling we shall go! We found some park benches to have our lunch. These were next to a fountain where we got to watch several kids playing in the fountain, a few kids cautiously approaching the fountain and a dog what wanted to attack the fountain. Then we strolled about. We checked out a boat ride but next departure time was a hour away so we passed on that. We found a cool little bird watching blind and saw a little grebe. We were mindful of the time because the Sunday busses run few and far between. We scoped out out bus stop for the 3:47 bus back into town and at 3:25 a bus shows up! We hop on and soon find out it is going on a different route than we expected. Two stops into the ride and the bus driver calls out "last stop." Oh well, we get out, he walks us over to where the stop is, checks the schedule and tells us when the next bus will arrive. It was only a 15 minute wait and we got to see two wagons filled with little kids roll by us. Once we got on the second bus we actually go int he correct direction and get back to where we thought our bus stop was at 3:47!
Walking over to the bridge we passed this decorative bell
A system for water control
One bridge of about a dozen in this small area
Hello Kitty!
Who might this sassy girl be?
A massive bridge structure with viewing towers on either side
A funky bus with too many wheels
The snow is still on the mountains
Looking back over to the Art Museum from the lookout
Where to the power lines go to from here?
These are expansive
A little grebe
Spot billed duck
Japanese wagtail
So many canals
Over the river
Barn Swallow
A cute little bird
Eurasian Tree Sparrow
Oriental Greenfinch
Such a nice song
A white cheeked starling
Last stop!
We will take this bus back to where we started
Art to watch while we are waiting for the bus
The hospital is where the line ended
A white wagtail
Another empty bus
A statue on our ride back to the hotel
We saw the giant shoes on the right side compared to a normal shoe on the left
We wanted a quick and fast dinner so we went to Shogun Hamburgers
They make their own hot sauce!
Branded with a Samurai helmet
We did some damage
The wall is signed by lots of folks
Quite the eye catching sign
Some tiles in a random ally
Let the moss grow
There is a tulip town just north from here
It is easier to get your orientation with signs such as these
Another beautiful man home cover
