Indoor Pool is Finally Open!

It wasn't an April Fool's Joke -- one of the high points of my month so far has been the reopening of the indoor pool. HOORAY! It sure felt good to get back in the water again. . . You may remember that it was closed back in mid-December for safety inspection of it's filtration system, due to an accident that happened in a military pool back in the US. So, 3-1/2 months later it's been inspected. The bad news is that it will close again this summer to actually make the modifications, but for now, I'm spending as much time in the water as possible. Of course, we're also in the middle of cherry blossom season, so watch for pictures here soon. Japan is in full bloom!
