blink of an eye

the cherry blossoms have come and gone. we had a great on sunday at the park eating, drinking and talking with friends under a pink canopy. with each breeze petals would be blown from the trees only to be found in a bag, shoes, pockets, every which where later on.
yesterday the japanese emporer and his wife abtually visited nao's hometown yesterday. the reason for the visit was to celebrate one hundred years of ties between japan and brazil. why visit nao's hometown? because many of the descendants of those japanese who first moved to brazil have been coming to japan for work. oizumi has one of the largest brazilian populations in japan. too bad we didn't get to see the emporer, but we did see his motorcade!
