Today's Photos - Drove Down To Odawara...

Today the weather was very fine and so we drove down to Odawara-city in Kanagawa Pref.
It takes about one hour to drive to get there, but we often go there because there are some big shopping malls and they don't charge parking fee!
So we don't need to rush, just can relax (window) shopping!

Here is a photo of Enoshima where is very famous beach in Japan.
This photo was taken from driving car.

Odawara is one of castle town.
We went to Odawara-jo (Odawara Castle) which is very small, just to have a look but it was boring and so we soon changed the destination! (lol)


Just a few snaps there...


I didn't know that Aloe bear this kind of fruit(?) or this can be flower later???
Oops, the words in the photo is miss spelled (lol)

We went to Robinson department store where is our favourite place, and bought some books and my son Tass's winter jacket.
Oh I also bought a knit cap, I love hats and caps so much, I think I will show you my hat collection some other time! :)

When we drove back to home, we could see Mt. Fuji in the sunset, so I asked AJ to stop the car and took this photo.

We are going to visit my dear friend Fiona in Karuizawa, Nagano Pref. from 20th to 22nd, Nov.
I heard that Nagano is getting very very cold, so she suggested us to take winter clothes!!
Ohhh, I don't like cold weather... brrrr

I'm so looking forward to seeing her!!
I will report "my short trip in Karuizawa" when I got back!

Cathey (aka Pumpkin) and Leena, I will send you Giveaway gifts after I got back from a short trip next week!

Take care and thanks for your visit!
Happy Stitching!

Yuko, Looks like you have a wonderful drive....Mt Fuji looks amazing in the back drop..
I, like you, do not like the cold. Here in South Carolina USA it has been very COLD....I do not like it when it is this cold....A nice cup of coffee or tea and warm socks does the trick :)

Have a safe and fun trip
Natasha

You've madded a nice trip! The photos are lovely! As it concerns to aloe vera, this is the flower button but I think the products are made off the leaves. If you cut a piece, you can use it as a lotion (someone showed me that in Dominican Republic once)- it's good for mosquitoes' bruises... Thank for sharing! Hugs! MJ

Ah Yuko - it was great to see these photos. I used to live in SagamiOno so many times I went to Enoshima and Odawara. I envy you the trip to Karuizawa - the autumn leaves hsould be beautiful there this time of year. Thanks for your blog - it brought back many many happy memories of when I lived in Japan. Say Hello to Karuizawa for me!!

Yuko,
Your photos are absolutely stunning. I love the beautiful serene look of Enoshima - so restful but not during the day, I am sure :>) I can't believe Odawara-jo is boring, it looks fantastic, such a beautiful building!! I hope you all enjoy your stay in Karuizawa. Wrap up warm.
Hugs, Angela
