Back to Osaka-Jo!

We took a stroll last Friday with friends Ben and Lelia at Osaka Castle. There were a few trees in bloom but still many more to come! We are heading to Kyoto tomorrow since I think the blooms are mostly open there... we are going to head back to the monkey park that we visited 2 years ago in beautiful Arashiyama, so many more pics to come!



how cute...


pruning the plum and peach trees


There's a cat in the bag!
This was hilarious! every once in a while the cat would let out a helpless meow!








Ben and Jeff, doesn't Jeff look pretty?!


Tako-yaki heads!




Jeff is loosing weight here and that's not good for me! He's starting to make me look fat!




Sake slam
