Walk to JAL City Kannai
Walked to first's hotel today, about 35 minutes from mom. On the map below, Mom's place is starred close to the bottom (below Chiyozakicho). Hotel JAL is also starred, upper middle just the right of Kannai train station and the stadium.

Pre-Bloom
I think these big trees are Sakura, lining Honmoku dori near the big shopping area and Aeon. Buds have formed, but no blossoms yet.
Dogs Welcome
Some pet related photos. Ironically no actual animals pictured, I'm shy and cautious about photographing strangers.

Invasive Weed
Lunch today was kushinsai (water morning glory, a noxious weed for some in the US apparently) stir fried with garlic and shoyu, spicy cucumber pickles with shiso, other pickles, nori, rice. The soup has tofu and komatsuna, the tofu here is very delicious.

that tropical taste is here
We walked to a shopping center to look around, pick up a few things. Near Chiyozakicho and Yamashita Koen, right at the bay.

That salmon problem
I rarely eat salmon, for years now, due to an incident involving drying salmon and the smell making me sick. I did make an exception at a pub in Doolin, for exquisite local salmon. And also today. Very fresh, salted and grilled.
The accompaniments are pickled dried takuan (from Hokkaido), age tofu and greens in dashi, pickled gobo and wakame/salted cucumber salad. Rice as always!
