extra innings and more

i finally made it to Koshien . . . finally for the Finals. it was a fun game to watch and i think Noriko taped it for me. i will enjoy watching it again as i know i missed some plays while taking photos. after the game and a new Hello Kitty towel omiyage (souvenir) from Koshien, i take the train back to Umeda. the new Zenmai Zamurai was being offered in the Happy Set-o (meal) so i bought one for a late lunch. and then it was up to the Hanshin Tiger`s Store on the 8th floor of the Hanshin Department store. i made my way thru all the people rushing here and there, and found my way back to the Hankyu Department store and the Hankyu train line back to Minoo. i decided on obento under the illuminated sakura for dinner even though it was a bit cold. that was some of my saturday. i will add more photos tomorrow.

the winners (yes i know, they are all winners)
