Ayako and I went for a visit to her relatives' house, which isn't too far from our house. We
mainly went to see her grandmother. She has kidney cancer and has decided not to have any type of therapy done, so it might be our last time visiting her. Here was a nice shot of all of us with Ayako's grandmother:
It was nice to see Ayako with her brother and sister together. Masaya came back from university for the Golden week holiday. He had his hair cut and coloured, but has to have it back to black before going back to school on Thursday:
We had lunch together and there was lots of huge pieces of sushi to choose from:
Here is a shot of Neo and Rio enjoying some sushi:
We found a frog:
And a dragonfly:
And two types of butterflies:
A lot of the walking was on a boardwalk over marshy areas and so we found some great raspberries, but they were out of reach for us to eat:
We did find a stand selling mulberries on the side of the road, and so Ayako bought a small box of them:
It was my first time to see what mulberries look like and to eat them raw...very yummy!
