Signs of the Season

I came back from the wood shop 2 nights ago and was surprised to see a huge three-story light-up Christmas tree on my apartment building! I've been pretty surprised at how well decorated Takayama is for the holidays! (If you look 2 windows to the right of the tree, on the 4th floor, you can see my window- with my christmas lights!)

Later that night I went out for a walk, at the time it was just barely drizzling. I didn't bring an umbrella. Less than 20 minutes later, it was a full-on snow storm. Though short-lived, it was amazing!
