we’re on an awsum quest via bus to a sakura blossom picnic

kitted out with rucksacks, tote bags, tasty bread & meat etc, matcha tools, and ground sheet like little expeditioners
big rain last night, today cloudy/sunny/muggy no kimono but coordinated outfit seasonally

{Irrelevant sidenote: there was meant to be an “international community Meetup” event but it was canceled/postpone due to weather warning. I don’t really know or mingle much with the erstwhile international community in the area yet thought it would be a chance to make a few friends at once…
However we carried on and met up with a group including a couple of awesome school moms and Ichiro’s classmates and the other David from Vancouver not to be confused with Dave sort of from Vancouver and the spectacular Miho]

possibly some snapshots to follow however I didn’t take snapshots (update: snapshots now included)
i played “go camp” card game as a gift from recent visitors, i brought a collection of fake mustaches to distribute to the children with limited success, and shared some various concoctions including kiwi compote, persimmon vinegar and probably something else I made, and we brought along bread from the sensational Alsace baker from “Beck” quite close to our neighborhood}

thanks for snaps from David from Vancouver/Hudson Valley
