Still looking into the part at Asahigaoka, I found grade school kids and there teachers cleaning up the park. The teachers teach the kids about various things that can be seen in the park, but the kids also bring plastic bags with them and pick up the trash that the adults have thrown around. This is a great idea. Maybewhen the kids are adults, they will not just toss stuff on the ground when they are finished with it.
Here some of the kids (left and front) are picking up stuff and another (center back) is writing some kind of report.
I reached Miyagi Gakuin U a half hour later and stopped in the men's room. One nice thing about working at a women's university is the things are clean and the janitorial staff put decorations in the toilets.
The view out the window of the teachers' lounge. The white squarish area on the mountain side is a ski slope that is covered with snow, not much yet but enough so that we can see it.
It was dark by the time I finished classes. This is the bus stop in front of the school, where the students wait in line for buses. There are three routes that stop here. The one I take goes to Asahigaoka and the other two both go to Sendai Station, but by different routes. There are also stops on the other side of the street and about a five minute walk away.
The structure in the foreground is the soccer stadium and the mountain in the background is called Izumigadake.
There may be some snow in the nearby mountains but along our levee the flowers are still blooming.
Back at Miyagi Gakuin U the next day, I looked out of the teachers' lounge window and discovered workmen putting up the Christmas lights on the chapel.
