Happy Easter!
Takashima-san and I parted ways with Tan-san on the train as we went to church like normal today. It’s raining again. And the sakura are falling off.

I was quickly whisked away by Sato-san, who desperately wanted me to meet her grandson, who had just started college the past week in Osaka, or somewhere reasonably close by.
Takashima-san didn’t come because he had plans to go sakura-watching with Prakash.
Anyway, her chef son-in-law made us a feast of a few varieties of pasta, salad, and bread. I don’t think I was much help to the chap, who was so pooped out to begin with, but now at least he has a ‘merican contact for when he wants to come to the States to watch his bucket list basketball game...and maybe study abroad on the side. He’s only been here for four days, and he’s already homesick! He’s from a rural area of Gifu, and I guess it’s rather shocking to come to a more suburban environment (we’re not in the city city...). And it was fun hearing him talk, because he talks like my cousins (Gifu is close to Aichi and Mie, where most of the other cousins live).
It was of course Sato-san and her daughter talking and we wrapped up around 4:30. They were kind enough to give me a ride back to ~home.
