里香のオアフ便り22:エネルギー補給:)

ここ2週間ほど、風邪に悩まされ、体力がなくなっていました。しかし、徐々に良くなってきたので、体力回復も兼ねて、主人に色んなレストランに連れて行ってもらいました。:D Kapoleiのレストランのアヒ、Hawaii Kaiのシュリンプ、Kahalaのハンバーガー、どれもとても美味しかったです。:) また訪れたいレストランが増えました。:)

United we Stand

I normally do not prefer to share my political ideologies and beliefs online, but since I was asked to share my thoughts on Americas current situation, then it is here on NACOS Nagaya I make them available for the 1st time. I would like to state in no way to I intend to push my beliefs on any of you, nor am I attempting to persuade any you. Just a man’s opinion. Nothing more.

From my viewpoint, what is happening at the moment is there is an unseen force dividing the American people. It is not about Republicans or Democrats. What is happening is a failure to communicate and understand one another. What I see is the demonizing of a party, a creation of a scapegoat so everyone knows where to point the blame. But what I see and what i think people fail to see, is that one party is doing exactly what’s within their power, and that party doing what it’s voters requested them to do. In essesence, this country is divided in half by what it wants. Half of our people want things one way, and the other half another. It is not one party or the other holding our country, government hostage. It Us. And like a relationship gone bad between two lovers. No one is willing to compromise. I could really carry on and on about this topic. It is something i am quite passionate about and spent hours talking and debating with friends and family about it. These friends and family come from all walks of life and have developed their own beliefs. But when i share with them my thoughts we always agree that the truth is we must stop blaming each other and seriously find a way to meet a common ground, United we Stand, Divided we fall.

Baltimore Inner Harbor

Baltimore is one of two big metropolises near us. The other is Washington D.C. Like D.C., Baltimore has a long and rich history. Today, however, there are more people moving out of the city than moving in. Some parts of Baltimore, like any other big city, are pretty bad and even downright scary. I would not go to those areas at night or by myself. But other parts like the inner harbor are really nice. The Baltimore National Aquarium and a number of other museusms as well as the baseball and football stadiums are located at the inner harbor. It’s a good place to take a stroll and grab lunch or dinner. You can even do a little shopping. City officials are attempting to bring more businesses and people to Baltimore in hopes that it will restore the city to its former glory.

横浜の街角

横浜の街並

横浜の街角からの風景です。
ランドマークタワーと、県庁です。
レトロな建物と近代的な建物の融合する街です。

九州の幸代さんが、ジョギングをしているころ、
湘南の私は、家の周りを散歩していました。

今から…



窓に入る涼しい風に断れず

まど に いる すずしい かぜ に ことわれず





気持ちの良い夕方です。
今日は一日ゆっくり過ごしていましたが、窓から入る涼しい風に誘われたので、
ジョギングにいってきます。

鎌倉を吟行しました。




名跡を巡る秋晴れ人の波

めいせき を めぐる あきばれ ひと の なみ


crisp fall weather
visiting landmarks
crowds of people

鎌倉路足音続く秋日和

かまくらじ あしおと つづく あきびより


footsteps abound
a street in Kamakura
clear autumn day
