It was terribly windy and rainy last night when I got to my hotel, to the extent that I was worried I'd have to cancel today's plans. (It seems the weather is not cooperating with me much this week!) In the end I did have to cancel, but not because of the weather: it was because the schedule for the Mogami River tour has different hours on Sundays, and would have left me stranded with a 3-hour wait at a tiny train station in the middle of nowhere. :)

Oh well. At least I got off the train and took a look around for a while. After all, it is a beautiful middle of nowhere. And there was even some blue sky, too!

It turns out I had good timing, too. Just as I was turning back, the sky clouded over. It was grey the whole return trip to Shinjō Station, and just before we stopped, I could see tiny little snow flurries.
The snow didn't last for long, though it did stay mostly overcast for the rest of the day. After getting off the train, I had just over an hour before another transfer that would take me to Yamagata City.

And here I am for the night! Tomorrow promises more excitement, because I'm off to visit a friend. But now it's time for dinner...
