So everywhere I go, I had to walk I love to go through Inokashira Park. It has a lake. Along the lake there are so many cherry trees. At night they light up.<\/p>\n<p>And I like to walk along the Josui. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a cannel. And there are many trees including cherry trees along the cannel. And there is an athletic field as well. Around 7:00am already there are many people were doing exercise there. I did too.<\/p>\n<p>Then I went to mountain house, I did morning walk almost everyday. Somehow I waked around 5:00am. The out side was getting light. Every morning the sky was different.<\/p>\n<p>In a country, mostly road are winding. So I started to walk, after this curve what is there? That kind of curiously leaded me to walk farther. I enjoyed finding new roads and new scenery.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_505\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariko-irie.com\/followroad.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-505\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-505 \" alt=\"576.

Some people do fishing on a boat as well.<\/p>\n<p>The other day I saw several geese and a lot of babies by and on the lake.<\/p>\n<p>Today some body was splashing water, then I looked at the top of the hill, there are a couple geese. Many small birds were flying over the lake. Some of them could be swallows. They flew very close to the surface of water, and making circle.<\/p>\n<p>Every day I find something new.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very interested in: When they passing by going to a store, they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t say anything each other.
