Tuesday 11th April off to Nagano in the Japanese Alps we traveled on the bullit train average speed 120 mph with a top speed of 180 mph and it was cold with rain yuck. Dropped our bags at the hotel and went to a small bakery where we made our own lunch small pastries some with sweet red beans and some with mixed vegetables after watching the old baker cook them on an open fire we ate them with geeen tea. Then Zenkoji Temple a beautiful old wooden structure after we visited Nagano Prefectural Shinano Art Museum where the Japanese art master donated almost 1000 of his works. Had a pleasant time meandering around viewing the paintings there was also a nice cafe so stayed out of the rain for a while. Next morning we went up the mountains to see the snow monkeys, very cute and mischievous great seeing them with snow on the hills, afternoon train to Matsumoto. J & G
