A Blustery Day
Little did I know, while enjoying the sunshine in Senshu Park yesterday, the winds whipping my hair this way and that were actually faint ripples from a typhoon battering southwest Japan. Typhoon Shanshan. For the most part, it has passed Japan and is churning up the sea to the west, but the wind is still fierce here in Akita. Even though Shanshan is only a tropical storm at the moment (winds 39-73 mph), it’s a little eerie, the howling outside my window.
