Hello
My name is Nao Adamson,
a Japanese essayist writing about international marriage.
In Japan we had a holiday season called "Golden Week"
because there are three bank holidays within two weeks. 
My darling and I went to a lake called Hyoko
in Agano City in Niigata Prefecture to see swans.

However, most of them already went back to Siberia,
so we couldn't see so many.
Actually, I counted the number.
Almost 10 were remained in the lake though... 
We bought feed for swans
but most of them were eaten by ducks.

There was a lovely promenade by the lake
and we walked under the cherry trees.

The cherry blossoms along the promenade
was nearly finished but we saw another one.
Isn't it beautiful ～

We enjoyed our dreamy spring day by the swan lake.

How did you spend your Golden Week?
