The Trip Revisited!





















I hope you enjoy my version of "Both Sides Now." The last verse starts with "Daughter, daughter, don't you know." That verse was added by Pete Seeger to the Joni Mitchell original. What superstars!

The photos are all more shots from our recent trip to Green Hill Yatsugatake. And what a trip it was!

  • The area where we stayed is gorgeous as it has nice trails that meander around the beautiful property.
  • Stuart and I did an amazing hike that climbed up for a mile or so with expansive views of the surrounding countryside.
  • As mentioned earlier, we went to Heidi's Village, a unique set of buildings with a very attractive and extensive rose garden that has paths that make for easy exploring.
  • A wonderful Swiss style village with attractive shops and the most amazing music box museum titled "Hall of Halls."

I have got to go back to that music box museum and relive that experience! Music boxes have a special place in my heart as my mom have me a number of music boxes as gifts when I was growing up. I was thinking about my mom as I traveled through the museum. Little did I know that I would soon be in for a special treat. I was in the large room with all these amazing old keyboard instruments, including some huge organs. All of the sudden the door closed and the music started. A number of those keyboards are "player instruments" that can be played automatically. And what a concert it was!

Happy Holidays and all the best to you and your families!
