hello, beautiful people.

 

 

(日本語は英語のあとに)

 

 

 

as i have written,

 

there were many, many, many

 

wonderful things happened in this trip.

 

 

 

The very kind and generous man

 

drove us to everywhere,

 

and also made some extra things

 

where he thought we'd enjoy.

 

 

今回の遠足で、本当に!!!!!

お世話になったBenさん。

彼なくては、わたくしたちの

旅はできませんでした。

 

本来の予定に無いところへ

いくつも連れて行っていただき

感謝の言葉しかありません。

 

 

Going to Wallmart instead of

 

just a grocery store, 

 

so we'd have more fun shopping

 

was his nice idea.

 

 

 

For Day 2 

 

he took different path.

 

 

Driving to downtown, 

 

getting spring water and

 

drove up the national park

 

was another wonderful thing.

 

 

 

 

Hot Spring is known for bath houses.

 

ホットスプリングには、

その名のとおり、「温泉」というバスハウスあり。

100年以上も前の建物たちがならぶ

 

 

 

 

 

そして。

直子さんのブログにあった、

あの「水」は、そのまま汲めるのです。

(ゲイリーがどこで汲んでいるかは、わかりません)

 

 

 

それを体験させてくださいました。

 

other spots, in the town.

街中で見かけた泉

 

 

Spring of his favorite one where he took us.

There are HOT and COLD ones, his favorite is cold one.

 

push the green botton

緑ボタンを押すと、じゃーーーって出てきます。

 

 

 

And drove up the mountain.

The Reservoirs.

この水色の扉みたいなのが、

それぞれの泉。

昔は、水のコントロールができていなくて

ぐちゃぐちゃの泥だらけだったそうです。

 

very nice feeling up there.

 

 

 

 

 

everybody loved Ben,

and everybody wanted to 

take a picture with him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And drove off again.

 

 

 

This was just before the Day 2,

 

so we were already so very happy

 

and excited when we arrived

 

to Gary's house for his workshop.

 

 

Thank you so very much, Ben !!

 

We all enjoyed your company

 

and very grateful for your hospitality.

 

 

 

love and cheers.
