Japanese March 15-18, 2006: Old guests from Germany (Part2) |
|
It has stopped raining this morning. My mother and I got up early in the morning and walked out. My mother cerebrated her 88 years old in this January. She holds a stick but is still very good. | |
My dear small town. | |
After the breakfast, my mother set a simple tea ceremony in Mr.Klaus' room. | |
She prepared tea ceremony tools in advance. Mr. Klaus enjoyed the tea. | |
Ms. Kaeko and I walked out after the ceremony and crossed Ibo river. | |
The suspension bridge swung a little but local people never mind and passed by bicycle. Some Yakata-Fune(Sightseeing boat) were moored on the river. | |
After seeing off them, we visited my father's graveyard. | |
Around noon, we got back to my mother house. It was very warm today and the cherry blossoms were about to bloom. | |
Tatsuno park is famous for its cherry blossoms. | |
Old cherry trees were here and there. | |
We took a simple lunch in the park. | |
As the weather was so beautiful, we decided to drive around the area. We headed south and came up to a rape blossom field. | |
We felt as if we were dyed yellow. | |
Shinmaiko is my old bathing beach. | |
Murotsu is an old fishing port once flourished in Edo era. | |
Ume blooms on the sunny hills. | |
Aioi port. | |
Beautiful flowers in my mother's garden. | |
In the evening, we headed to Kobe port to catch a return ferry boat. | |
We arrived at Oita next noon. | |
Oita was in the slight rain. This week, we could spend a pleasant time with the guests from east and west. See you again, all my good friends. |
