Heat wave




As the temperature nears 100 in Kumamoto City, it is time to escape to Oguni. Thursday our friend Yukari came to visit us. Later in the evening Chigusa came as well. Along the way we stopped at Kitayama, overlooking the Mt. Aso caldera. Everyone enjoyed some freshly grilled corn and the magnificent view. After we returned home, we went to lunch at an all-organic restaurant nearby. I had the fried rice, which was made with brown rice, garlic, and onions. Hisako's curry had a unique flavor and was composed of 20 spices.

It was hot in Oguni, too, but not nearly as terrible as Kumamoto City, so we were all glad for the relief.
