Matsumoto, part two - yaki-imo and art

After seeing Matsumoto castle, we spotted a "Yaki-imo" truck, and got a sweet potato snack:

Masako's sister Akko-san picks out the type of potato we want.

Masako juggles the bag of steaming hot potatoes!

 After enjoying our snack, we walked to an art museum, actually a complex of several small buildings.  I don't have any photos to show you!  Photos were not allowed in the buildings themselves and in the courtyards, we were skypeing and facetiming with Noelle back in the states.  Coincidentally she was in Washington, D.C. visiting with Masako's son and his family for her spring break.   Japan is 14 hours ahead of Boston, and will be 13 hours ahead after you "spring forward" on the 11th (Japan does not observe daylight savings time).

Stay tuned for more about our weekend in Matsumoto!
