Saturday Trip at Nara with Mieu-Mieu Matsui

We made a little trip to Nara area
on Saturday 2th of September 2006.

Mieu-Mieu chan and his papa,
Alissa YOKONO and his father.

We have been picked-up at Keihan Moriguchi-sh
station and went thru the valley of Kiyotaki
and arrived the IKOMA mountain.

We dropped into the Soba restaurant and
enjoyed its soba for 90 minutes.









Then we visited a famous Shinto Shrine
KASUGA-TAISHA shrine next to Wakakusa-yama
mountain close to Nara Station.













We met bambis and elder deers who head for
us as Yokono papa bought Shika-senbei that
attracted many deers. Alissa and Mieu-Mieu
chan cried as many deers headed for us very
closely.

of 11th of August 2006.

A very good Saturday in Nara for 4 of us.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LINA-CHAN !!

Bonne Anniversaire , LINA !

Lina,

You become 7 years old, today.

On 26th of May, 1999, you were born in a
pregnancy hospital in Kurume, Fukuoka Pref., Japan.
As I had to work in Osaka, I could not see the birth time
at the hospital, I got a phone call from your grand-mother
from Kurume and I got to the hospital right after the phone call.

( photo, riki sees Lina in the baby bed. little bit sad looking.... )

Your brother and sister were born in Osaka, as I had asked your
mother to bear a baby close to my office, however, your mother
did asked me to keep staying in Fukuoka, which is her birthplace,
for the second baby, you, LINA.

Kurume, Fukuoka is a countryard, in Kyushu island, that is
in the southern part of Japan islands.

That is why we named you, 里南, LINA ( Countryard of South, compagne du sud...).

Even your mother imagined that the name of second baby she would produce
should be named by its mother, if the baby were a girl, feminine, I did agree with
her proposal and were happy to hear that your name was given, LINA, a girl from
southern country, du pays du SUD.


Happy Birthday, LINA ! You are 7 years old, today.

PS) We will celebrate your birthday this evening in our house.
