Oh, my friend and hot spring...

My friend, Tomoko took a vacation day to play with us. In the past several years, we always wanted to take a little trip to somewhere, but it never happened with baby Amalie and Luther. So, we went to a public bath (in my neighborhood, there are hot springs) by biking with Tomoko sitting behind of me. She kept saying "Let me get off. Off! Off! Wow", but I kept going. It was like we were in high school again, and fun. By the way, its black water contains old plants, and it's coming from deep within the earth. My back pain got better, and my skin is smoother. We hung out all afternoon and night. Today was definitely one of the happiest day of my life.



昨日はお友達が来てくれました。本当は小旅行に行きたかったのですが、授乳中の身なので、池上にある銭湯温泉へ。道中二人乗りで、「怖い。降りる!おりる!」と必死のお友達とこぎ続ける私。高校時代に戻ったようでうれしくなってしまいました。温泉の黒いお湯は、お肌つるつる&肩こり、腰痛緩和効果抜群です。夜までいっしょにいた日。親友と銭湯、幸せです。いつかきっと、秘境に旅しよう。

Mutsumi,

I think being in Japan has changed you. Or, maybe, you can really be "you" when you are there. Whatever it is, I'm so glad you are able to spend time with your family and friends and feel so happy:-) You are such a great person.

We miss you guys and it's just not the same without you here!
