Jinja and Shoga: Life in the Land of the Rising Sun

  We went for a picnic last week at a park in a nearby town. Zelie was quite happy while devouring her ribs (which, this week she has decided that she hates, FYI), and then we took a walk after eating. Not bad scenery for a little park close to the historic downtown area; it felt quite secluded and traffic noise was at a minimum. It could stand to have some public restrooms though: this pregnant lady had to cut the trip short due to an overactive bladder! Note to self: don't drink so much water when the only toilet around is a bunch of bushes!
