laugh & peace: June 2005

We both enjoyed this Italian restaurant. It maybe a good
idea to go eat dinner here.

The restaurant had a nice courtyard - I wanted to eat there
but it was too hot!

I am ready to eat!

This was one of the best pasta I have ever had.

It was a beautiful lawn - my father would be very happy
to practice golf here.

People's wishes are written.

This is huge Kouro!

I am drawing a shrine lot.

Look closer, and you will see a rainbow!

It doesn't look like it but Nishiwaki city is situated in the
very center.

Such a cute doggy at a photo shop we dropped in - forgot
to ask the name, zannen!

I still don't know what this is but worth taking a picture!

It was a very hot day but was also nice for walking.

A world map at the very center of Japan!

A trip to Nishiwaki

Last Saturday I went to Nishiwaki, Hyogo. Nishiwaki city is situated in the very center of Japan and called "Heso (belly button) city" ! It was a very hot day and I needed to wear my obasan hat.
There is a park "Heso Park" and we saw many interesting things. We had a delicious lunch at a very nice restaurant. I had seafood pasta and my friend had mushroom pasta. It was one of the best pasta I have ever had and hoping to go back there again but I dont remember the name of the restaurant, doushiyo! We happened to find a beautiful shrine - I wll let the pictures tell what we enjoyed.

On Sunday I went shopping and bought a very cute yukata. I am really looking forward to wearing this on the 16th of July for fireworks in Hiwasa, Tokushima - hope to post some pictures of it !
