Travelog for: Mousy Mouse

Next, I went to see Andersen Hall. Some swan boats were on the lake in front of the hall.

When I was walking, I found a ship in the lake.

Then I found a LEGO boy in front of the shop.

In the shop, I found a boy bear called Tivotan and a girl bear called Tivorin which are mascots of the park.

Kurashiki Tivoli Park has some rides.
A illuminated ferris wheel was beaufiful.

I found a statue of Andersen. He looked up something....
He looked up a clock tower.
The clock tower has a mechanism that some dolls dance with music on set time.

Kurashiki Tivoli Park was a wonderful place!
I felt like I visited Denmark.

I was very tired as I visited many places and walked all day.

I slept as soon as I went to bed

The weather was brilliant.
It was sunny without clouds. The sky was very blue.

In the morning, I visited RSK rose garden.

A lot of colorful roses were in bloom.
Tha garden had red, pink, white, yellow, orange roses...They were very beautiful.

I found white roses named 'First Love'

What a romantic name!

Then, I visited Okayama castle.

Okayama Castle was built in 1597. However, it was destroyed by air attack in 1945 and it was reconstructed.

I found a man doll with clothes made with flowers.

Then, I also visited the garden named Korakuen next to Okayama Castle.
The garden was completed in 1700. It took 14 years!

I sat on the grass and basked in the sun. I felt very good and got sleepy.

I found some cranes in a cage.

Today I had to say good-bye to Jan and JamaBana.
Jan was sent to Slovenia and JamaBana was sent to Taiwan.
I was sad...

However, Two new toyvoyagers, Rangler and Twinette Kani arrived at Yumi's house. They were sent from Australia.

Today, Yumi's granddad's birthday party was held at her house.
He turned 87 years old.
Yumi, her parents, her grandma, her uncle celebrated him.
I also celebrated him.
We had a lot of delicious food!
We had a big cake with a lot of fruits and creams!
I was full.

Yumi took me Kanazawa where was the biggest city of Ishikawa prefecture.

I found the fountain in front of Kanazawa station.

I went to a park.

Red, yellow,orange and brown leaves were falling from the trees. It looked like a fallen leaves carpet.
When a strong wind blew, leaves fell on the ground like rain
It was beautiful.

I wanted to play with tvs (Rangler, Twinette Kani, and Tippi) at the park, but I couldn't as it was raining...

It got dark there...

I found an illuminated shrine (Oyama Shrine), correctly the gate of the shrine  It was beautiful.
The gate was designed by two Dutch men and was completed in 1875

Yumi's parents celebrated their wedding at the shrine over 25 years ago.

As the weather was nice and the sky was very blue (No clouds!)
I visited a few places in Kanazawa today.

I visited Ozaki shrine.
The shrine was built at a different place in 1643 and was moved the present place in 1876
The trees with colorful leaves were beautiful.
