Fast overview, we catch a train to Osaka this morning so we are packing up to leave our three night stay in Nagano. We found gorgeous cherry trees in full bloom in white, dark pink, and light pink everywhere we traveled yesterday. The evergreens that have been beautifully pruned are truly inspiring. Many places daffodils and phlox and little hyacinths and muscari are blooming. The Nagano region has snow capped mountains and was home to one of the Winter Olympics. A little shop we walked into had a variety of glass beads along with a few stones we love such as amethyst and celenite and in interesting small display of one tuning fork and crystal kits - Michael spotted it first. I had to hear the bowl in the photo - it is very lovely! It was fun to find sound healing instruments as we went! We logged over 14,000 steps our first full day and 8 miles yesterday. Michael has enjoyed the Onsen daily and I finally joined (because it was convenient and before 10pm) yesterday at the Snow Monkey park. Yes, I bathed in hot mineral monkey hair water 😂. The snow monkeys drink from and bathe in the hot mineral waters. It was pretty cool hearing the geyser , the rushing mountain runoff and enjoying the stone outdoor onsen and watching the monkeys! First thing I did this morning was grab all my oils for my sore feet! Praise the Lord again for Peppermint and Gary Young!
