a good day

it is a good day when you get to walk on the takimichi (trail to the waterfall), meet Takechi-san and his dogs and meet another Shiba-wanchan (puppy), get to see Yamabushi-san and have takoyaki. and by the way, the mountain is now officially open.

Takechi-san, Danny, Look (or was it Luke) and Popo . . . and Tony

rain, yamabushi, takoyaki, taiyaki, hula, kasa and ramen

and did i mention the sleeping cat? it was a rainy thursday but i did walk to the Minoo takimchi to see the yamabushi at Ryuanji. very interesting. and from the photos i think you can see the second part of the day was quite different. i took the train to Umeda to see the hula show at Hanshin Department store. i will try to add some video of the hula and Hawaiian music. i met Noriko around 6pm and we had ramen for dinner. that was my day (basically) . . . and how was yours?
