Wajima


A couple of hours north of Kanazawa by bus brought us to Wajima in the Noto peninsula. We first visited the morning market where a lot of  obachan ladies sold their goods. The second picture shows a lady who still dives for abalone. Next is the vender who we bought steamed abalone from. They were $70 each!  After that are giant lanterns at the Kiriko Art Museum. I had an ice cream sundae on the bus ride home. In the evening me and Sweetie looked for dinner at the basement level of the Daiwa Department Store.

Mich, my second suitcase is already pretty full!

Thanks Aunty!

Abalone is soooo expensive, Dean. But my son gave me money to spend so it's for him.

N, the one we bought is very flavor intensive!
