Today, after breakfast, I walked with Yumiko to school and then veered off into Arisugowa Park. Arisugowa is a beautiful park filled with streams and paths and steps and waterfalls and beautiful trees. I go there a lot. Today I met my friend Joe – a woman from Taiwan who feeds the stray cats and crows and birds. She is great lady with a heart of gold. She was pinning oranges into the trees for the birds and they were gathering all around her as they know she is their best friend. I took some pictures of the tree tops with my new wide angle lens. I’ll post a photo here for your viewing pleasure.
This afternoon Ken and I took a $40 taxi ride to the other side of Tokyo for an appointment with an acupuncturist. Ken said it was a good visit and he actually felt a lot better afterwards – less pressure in his head and his arms and legs didn’t feel so stiff. We then took the subway back home through Shibuya station – a lot cheaper than the taxi. It’s now about 8:30. We had a marvelous salmon dinner cooked by yours truly and then all three of us took a wonderful bath in the deep ofuro in our apartment (separately – don’t get any ideas!) Another day – come and gone.
