Japan Adventure

Our waiter took this photo. See the rose? Stan asked the restaurant to have a vase on the table for a rose he was going to bring, but the restaurant owners insisted on providing the rose from a nearby flower shop. It's VERY fragrant - like the ones I used to grow in my rose garden.


Looking from our table toward the front of this small restaurant. That's our very attentive waiter (and I assume co-owner). I love the beautiful wood sculpture!


Our wonderful head chef / resident baker waves at me from the kitchen & behind a beautiful floral arrangement as our waiter looks on. They're the only ones I've ever seen here, so I assume they're husband & wife . . . ?


Bundled up & back out on the sidewalk downtown, riding toward home. It's not very crowded tonight, but there are always people walking around in Japan . . .


Back home - a closer view of this beautiful, fragrant, variegated rose. Thanks, Stan for a great birthday dinner!
