Sendai is known as the city of trees. Too sad - it's now a watery grave.

5. 2nd photo is the Sendai Mediatheque, a very innovated building

one of my architect husband's favorite buildings. :( I dread the after photos.

8. Sendai has been a "sister" city to Riverside CA since 1957. We will have some kind of aid

package set up this coming week.

9. I miss Japan. The pic with pagoda and iris is very reminiscent to me of the

emperor's iris gardens in Tokyo (c 1965).

his favorite parts of the trip were always the sight-seeing.

i love the blend of ancient and modern architecture. It's so sad to imagine the state of those buildings, and the peope who live in that city, right now.
