It has been really great being back in Japan. We have enjoyed seeing friends & family, visiting our favorite places and shopping, taking baths and using Toto toilet seats (I love those things!). One of the most enjoyable things though has been eating the amazing food here! We have been privileged to have Chiz’ mom cooking for us… and wow, she is an amazing chef! Every meal seems to have millions of delicious side dishes and we can’t get enough of them!
We have also brought out cat, Mac, to live in Japan and he seems to be enjoying his new home. He really enjoys all the soft cushions on the floor and the warm places near the heaters and under the kotatsu (a table that is covered by a big blanket with a heater at the bottom). Mac’s favorite place is relaxing underneath.
We have also been lucky to be in Tokyo during cherry blossom time. All over the city the trees are in full bloom! The only bad part is that this is a horrible time for my allergies : (
Here are some picts of delicious food, cherry blossoms, and Mac from the beginning of our trip in Japan.
Wow! There’s a pretty high standard being set in the food department. Hope we can do half as well while you’re in Atlanta. Everything looks amazingly delicious. Chiz’s mom seems to be taking good care of you both.
The cherry blossoms are beautiful. So glad you could be there while they are in full bloom. I even stole some for my facebook cover.
Enjoy your stay and can’t wait to see you both in Atlanta.
ok – when you said that you were being fed like a king i thought you were kidding — but CLEARLY you weren’t! YUMMY! xoxo
