These are most of us, taken in the parking lot of the hotel in Tagajo where the conference was held. I love it when someone goes to the second floor and sits on the window ledge to get a group shot. No double chins in this picture! (Some of us can use all the help we can get.)Our annual conference is a great time to see folks who work in the far reaches of our area or who do jobs where our paths don't often cross. We had an afternoon to sight see in the Matsushima area. Did a walking tour of a small island connected by a longish foot bridge with several others. Hit all the souvenir shops, of course and sampled pear ice cream, which in Japan is called La France for reasons I have not yet discovered, and a local specialty - Zunda - which turns out to be chopped, cooked, sweetened edamame. They use it in the same things they do sweet bean paste. It may be an acquired taste.
