Sunday was for vist to Nara. We visited Nara Park in the morning. We met up with Hiro’s nieces, Chieko-san and Hiromi-san for sushi lunch. They gave us a gift of donuts … 10 of them! They were so beautiful, as you can see. They did not last too long. Hiro even helped.

These are wonderful!! i love the park with all those deer wandering around. My favorite is Ryan eating ice cream with a deer looking like he would like a taste.
What is the weather like? It looks warm. It is still below freezing here and very windy today.

Hi Rosanne, I have been keeping a eye on Canada weather and surprised that spring has not come yet. It is t shirt or light jacket weather here. It cools off at night. Xo karen
