Christmas in Old Town, San Diego |

先日サンディエゴのオールドタウンへ行ってきました。
メキシコからの開拓者により出来た町で、昔ながらの古き文化と歴史をうかがえる所でした。
クリスマスのデコレーションがされていました。
私は東海岸から来たのでクリスマスの時期はとても寒く、静まったイメージでしたが、
西海岸のクリスマスは温暖な気候のせいもあって、華やかですね。
ヨーロッパの文化を受け継いだ東海岸のオールドタウンに
メキシコや南米の文化を受け継ぐ西海岸のオールドタウン、
同じ国の中でも大陸を越えた文化や伝統が体験できるなんて。
アメリカってすごいなぁ～と思います。
Wish you a Merry Christmas and have a happy new year!

JBA Softball Tournament |

The JAL Avionet USA softball team participated in the annual JBA Softball Tournament on
September 13 at Rowley Park in Gardena.
We played two games in relatively cool conditions.
The first one was at 8:30am on diamond #2 against Kline.
In the early innings it was a tough back and forth battle before they ultimately prevailed 12-5.
Our second game was at 11:50am on diamond #3 against Enagic.
We got off to a slow start and were never able to fully recover, with them prevailing 16-7.
The good news is that no one suffered any major injuries and everyone had fun.
Our team put on two gritty performances and represented us well.
We fully enjoyed participating & will definitely be back to try again next year!

I visited Santa Fe, Taos, and Chimayo, New Mexico in June.
Santa Fe was the one of the places I wanted to visit for so long
because of its building style called "Adobe".
I really enjoyed the visit.
Downtown Santa Fe was exactly as I expected (or even better!)
The people were nice and the foods were great!
I would love to go back there again. s.i.

ALASKA |

Did you ever watch the TV show Northern Exposure many years ago?
That’s pretty much what you should expect on a visit to the state of Alaska.
If you divide Alaska into two equal sections each one is larger than the state of Texas!
From gold rush history and glaciers to sled dogs, beautiful scenery and wildlife are bountiful. …
and for all you single women out there most of the towns have about 4 men to 1 woman. H.M.

I went to The Police concert last Tuesday at the Hollywood Bowl.
It was the first time to go there and my first time seeing Sting and The Police perform in concert. It was really fun, exciting and very loud.

シアトル旅行 |

メモリアルデーの3連休に友達とシアトルに行ってきました。
特に下調べもせず、有名だと言われるパイクプレイスマーケットとスペースニードルを中心に観光しましたが、
それはさておきとにかくシーフードが美味しかったです。
オイスターもサーモンも新鮮で美味しく、
レストランでカニをオーダーすると、2人でアメリカイチョウガニ一匹、ズワイガニ1匹、
タラバガニの爪のある足2本と不明なカニの足２本とが出てきました。
カニの前にクラムチャウダーやサラダやパンを食べていた私たちは、
最初はカニに大興奮していたのですが、あまりの量の多さに食べ進むにつれてテンションが下がり、
だんだんカニに伸ばす手がためらいがちに。。
最後には「疲れてる？」とまで聞かれてしまいました。 カニを食べて疲れるなんて。
いくら美味しいものでも食べ過ぎてはいけないということを学んだ夜でした。

My Vacation to Japan |

I recently returned from my vacation to Japan.
I went to visit my girlfriend, so I spent most of my time in Tokyo,
but we did take a 2 day trip to Hakone (箱根) and that was a lot of fun.
We visited many of the famous places like the Hakone Open Air Museum (彫刻の森美術館),
and the Fujiya Hotel (富士屋ホテル).
