dear mom,
as i told you, the stroller arrived today. after a frustrating struggle in the genkan with it, i finally got it assembled. then hiro kept begging to go for a walk. yoshi went to the library with tommy (i fed him just before they left) and i went for a walk with hiro and sasha. it was awesome! thanks very much, this is a terrific stroller. a little heavy, but it wasn't too hard to figure out. i just hope it fits in the gaia.
on our walk we spotted some cherry blossoms.
and some 'fish' called 'koinobori' in japanese. this was attached to a house on the balcony. our lots aren't really big enough for the big poles these wind sock-type flags are usually flown from. good idea, really, but i doubt we'll be getting any.
the family at this house were having a BBQ, the parents and grandparents of the little boy for whom the fish are being flown. he must be a baby because he wasn't at the party! lol (probably sleeping in the house). the wind was a bit chilly for a BBQ, but it sure did smell yummy.
well, gotta go. i hope your weekend is going well.
love,
kristin

Awesome!! So glad that you decided to get one and hopefully that will make things alot easier and enable you to get out and about more. Love the pictures as well, have been feeling very natsukashi about Japan this week as this is my favourite time of year over there.
Isn't it too early for koinobori? Will you be displaying koinobori in your home during golden week?
The new stroller looks fantastic!!! And I loved the pics of all the things you saw along the way! Very cool!!! : )
actually, my mom got it months ago but only just sent it. it was rather expensive and were hoping to find a better way, but i am happy it is here.
i don't think it's early for koinobori. at least, not in southern japan. lol we don't have any koinobori and don't plan on getting any.
