Friday Shootout- WATER

Friday Shootout is WATER.

Once again here's the brief overview of Misawa:

The City of Misawa is located near the northeast tip of the Japanese main island of Honshu in Aomori Prefecture. It is a town with a population of about 44,000, in which the Pacific Ocean lies to its east, picturesque Lake Ogawara to the west.



That means we have plenty of water too! Browse and enjoy my photos.

Last Monday, Memorial holiday in US [yes, we had our holiday too even we're in Japan, we are still Americans anyway who happened to live in Japan hehehe], we got a lot of oysters from a river that I forgot the name :-) .....[again hehehe]. I need to ask my friend what's the name of this river and we need to come back here to get more oysters.


A man was fishing

Misawa Beach


This is Misawa Beach taken from Los Guerreros Restaurant on base, the lake is the Lake Ogawara. Yesterday the sun did show up but still a little bit windy outside with a temperature of 6 dec C as it showed up on my GPS, no more snow; and by the way that's one of the things I understand on my GPS, temperature and the other one is the compass. My husband was trying to fix the GPS and ended up messing it up and the worst thing is..... the map is not showing up anymore. Although I don't understand the kanji nor katakana nor any Japanese writing at least I understand the route number or the highway number where it can help us locate where we at......but now it's gone :-(
I should have taken picture of my GPS hmmm good idea, oh well that's it for now.
