We went to a noodle shop we like in Minami This City
for noodles. Chikako ordered a surprise order for me - my first time
to eat these. Just wonderfully spicy.

It was the last Super Moon of 2015. 
I took these photos atop the Yutaka Building, This City
obviously facing Eastwards. 

June was taken to the Wesley this evening ........

In jest....

I copied this photo, it is not my photo. 

Venus, Jupiter and Mars are in close formation early in the morning. 

I have been watching this event unfold over the past week, before dawn. 

Very amazing. 

Walking Group

Sunday

25th October, 2015

The Abukuma Kyuko Walking Group held 

Walk #7. 

 Check In. 

 It was soooooooo windy ! 

Beautiful Cosmos. 

After the walk, we caught the train a few stations back down

to have lunch. 

We didn't drink beer, I just took a photo of the bottle. 

It is made at this restaurant / boutique brewery. 

 Second stomach for ice cream ! 

Still it was so windy..... enough wind. 

 By going to the restaurant for lunch and then catching a much later

train back after the walk, the train was almost empty. In contrast, on the 

way to the walk, the train was jam-packed. 

Back, tired but happy after a wonderful day in Miyagi Prefecture. 

 We scored Gift Bags for completing the walk. 

Nice, eh ? 

Plus an additional Special Gift because I had completed five of the walks. 

Bonus ticket was inside !   

Thanks

Many people kindly gave me gifts this month. 

Souvenirs from their trips here and there. 

 Chikako san's parents sent us there persimmons. Yum. 

 My neighbour, Reiko san went to India and brought me back some tea. 

Kumi san went to Hiroshima with her family and brought

me back this fridge magnet.  Cute. 

Ryuhei san had no topic so he brought some Cappuccino Candy in. 

It was really good ! 

 Mitsuko san brought me some hydrogenated water for my health. 

I feel great just thinking about drinking it. 

Thank you to everyone ! 

Japanese people are very kind to me.... 

A delicious gift from Koji San. 

 Soooooo good - thanks Koji !
