no plan leads to new friends

i had no specific destination when i left home today around 1130a. and no plans except . . . to take some nice cherry blossom photos. and to sit under a cherry blossom tree and watch the world pass by. so meeting nice people, cute dogs and sweet children was a bonus. more about them with more photos tomorrow. it took me about 3 hours to leave Minoo but i decided to take the train up to Takarazuka. i remember hearing about a hana no michi (flower road). i found it but didn`t have much time after talking with a sweet young woman and her very cute daughter. tonikaku, i caught the 17:08 train to Umeda where i was to meet Noriko after she returned from work. after finding her in the big hallway in front of the Hankyu department store she told me there was a very good guitarist playing on the steps near the JR station entrance. she had a few more errands to run so i ran to hear some more street live. this guy was very good. i listened to a couple of songs before Noriko returned and then we went to one of our favorite curry restuarants called San Marccos in the Hankyu Sanbangai. i had the curry with eggplant. very good. time to get ready for bed. here a few images from todays no plan adventure.
