Silver Week in Japan officially started yesterday
however as I work on Saturdays, my Silver Week
started today, Sunday. 

We drove from This City to Akita. 
It was the first time for the both of us to go to Akita. 










Busy on the highway.




We ended up at Mos Burger for lunch ..... Mos is better than other fast food. 






Back on the road again ... 






Akita........ here we come ! 




I waited in the car at the roadhouse..... also quite busy. 


My photos don't quite show the height of the surrounding mountains. 
They are amazing ! 


Akita City. 








Some famous Akita food........... 










For dinner we went to MANMA, like a beer hall. 
It was nice. 











This tasted sooooooo gooooooooood.......... 




Thank you, MANMA =  maybe we can't come back, 
however we did enjoy. 















The moon rising . 




Our first night in Akita. 
Tomorrow, we have a plan.

Post Party

Post Party

After Tony`s Welcome Party Chikako San & I 
went to a new bar in town for one drink. 

What a disappointment ! 
To say nothing about being ripped-off. 

Never go back there. 









Live and Learn, I guess...... 

There are many much better bars to visit in This City.
The worst bar I have been in since I came to Japan. 

Tony Sensei

We held a Welcome Party 
for
Tony Sensei 
from 
Seattle City
U.S.A.

We also went to K's Denki. 
We got a coffee grinder. 








 The inaugural grind - the first time of what will be so many times. 


We love our morning coffee. 
And it worked just perfectly.

St. Wilfrid's
Grappenhall. 

It is the 28th anniversary........ and it is also a Friday. 

I  cannot imagine had I persevered.
