Delicious Japanese food - how can I live without it ?
It was a hot, humid day because of Tsuyu ( the rainy season ) and so we ate
cold soba noodles with raw vegetables on top.

The baby is due in November, 2010.
It was wonderful to talk with her again.

Below:  After lunch everybody left to go home.
I pray that your breast cancer will vanish, somehow.

Believe.

Chikako and her Godfather, Hideo_san after we climbed the staircase up to the Bell Tower.
And below, is the narrow, steep staircase we traversed.



Below: Hideo and Chikako talk about climbing the ladder to see the actual bells.
But they didn`t end up doing that, only I did as you can see from the photos posted below.
