We were lucky to find our 'secret location' as other spots along the river were 'packed'. The water was lovely,too. It was the perfect way to relax after a 'big night'last night. My longtime friend and colleague Okabe-San helped organize a leavimg party for me at Asakuma. Sometimes it just seems like yesterday that we started working together at 浜松南高等学校. Over the years she has given me valuable help and advice. And for that I'm eternally grateful...
