G.C. #1

Sunday, 18th March, 2012

We both caught the Shinkansen to Ueno Station.

Spending the day there together was such fun ....... !

By an amazing coincidence, we met Haruka~san formerly from

St.Peters & St. Pauls Anglican Church, Koriyama there !

She now lives way down south of Tokyo.

 We went to H.R.C in Ueno Station for lunch.

We sat in front of one of David Crosby`s guitars.

I am a huge fan of his music.
