Mom and I went to Gumyoji today, to shop at the shotengai and visit the shrine.

Beautiful sakura on the river running through the shotengai |
Gumyoji temple |
Just a few doors down the river, by this tree, was a quiet lovely coffee shop |
Coffee shop run by an older couple |
Ham sandwich and buttered toast, delicious. |
Espresso, beautiful and also delicious |
The store which no longer carries a lot of indigo shibori... |
Wonderful assortment of pickles |
We bought baby daikon pickles, and onions pickled in shoyu and also ones in shiso. Really yummy. |
On the Yokohama subway. My hair is getting way to long. |
I am finally coming out of this snotty cold and sinus infection to go for a walk. Cherry blossoms are officially on here in Yokohama, so I walked down Honmoku Dori to see if those huge trees were blooming. It's a grey day, so colors are muted.
I stopped to sit awhile and saw this child (in red) with his grandma walk by. She was hopping along, holding his hand dancing and singing, "laaa lalala la, laaa la-la-la la" which I recognized as the intro/interlude of the song "Sing". She stopped to take his picture under the blossoms. The whole little scene of them was very nice.
Hakuho from last week's Basho. |
Ranunculus blossoms from first |
7-11 is a great little store, truly conbini |
These are from a few weeks ago, when I went with FoM to meet friends in Shibuya and Shinjuku. We walked to the Meiji Shrine and then had lunch at the Tokyo City Hall.
