I am out of here today for a “me” trip. I would be remiss though if I did not post at least one picture of our trip to see Okaasan(click on image to see it better):
One of the S.O.’s relatives runs a Ryokan, this is what a room looks like. This was the room the S.O. and I stayed in.
And this is what dinner with Okasan was like (note the lack of chairs):
More to come-with an explanation.
