Yesterday the weather was spectacular, a warm fall day here, so after classes, and a long week of studying, I got out my map and figured out the route to a park on the other side of town. The wonderful thing about Japan is that no mater how busy or industrial the section of town, there is a way to get there by bike. I had a bike lane/sidewalk all the way to the park. The Higashi Koen, East Park, is on a bit of hill over looking the city and offered lovely views at every turn. The fall color was highlighted against the green of bamboo groves and ancient pines.
I don’t have much time to write today as I’m heading out to a museum with some friends, so here are a few pictures from the trip to the park.
Oh, yes, for those of you who did try to guess the flowers of the obis, they were iris and wisteria! Take another look and you will see them now! I'm writing postcards this weekend.
Here's the link to pictures on Picasa or just click the picture below:
