Meiji Mura Appreciation Post

I went to the Meiji Mura Museum with my host family today.  It is basically a large park with many buildings from the Meiji era.  Everything was so clean and beautiful.  Yuki and Manami were allowed to go around by themselves since Japan is so safe.  I wish it was like that in America!  Here are just some of the photos we took at the Meiji Mura Museum:
