31-Jul-2005    8:57.04 AM New place: view down the hall, into the living room, past the veranda, and to the trees on the other side of the river.	31-Jul-2005    8:57.25 AM New place: view of the living room (and part of the kitchen, on the right) from the washitsu ("Japanese room")	31-Jul-2005    8:57.44 AM View out the side window in the living room. The wall in the lower part of the picture is of the ground-floor unit's lawn area. The dirt on the other side is the restraunt construction site, followed by our little plot. The river is the Shirakawa, curving south-south-west.
31-Jul-2005    8:57.51 AM Looking somewhat toward the right while standing on the veranda.	31-Jul-2005    8:58.30 AM (aged 2 years, 9 months) Standing just inside the entry way, Anthony stands at the intersection of two hallways (the livingroom/kitchen are off to the left, Fumie's and my offices are straight ahead, and the bedrooms are to the right).	31-Jul-2005    8:58.49 AM Fumie's office (L) and my office (R)
31-Jul-2005    8:59.09 AM View from Fumie's balcony.	31-Jul-2005    8:59.29 AM View from my office window. Note the checkerboard lawn -- for reasons I've never understood, that's how they lay sod in Japan. The grass has a much higer chance of dying than ever filling in. Lawn grass just does not do well in Japan.	31-Jul-2005    9:00.36 AM Our sink (and, out of picture to the right, the bath) area. Two sinks... yeah!
