Apartment Event

It seems that our apartment manager often take place events for residents.
The other day, a brunch party was held in there.
The food was mainly omelette and bread served byThe Omelette Chefs.
A chef cooked for each of us in the reception room and we had with residents in the courtyard!

















By the way, I worked in a real estate company in Japan.
Maybe I think that in Japan, events like this are never held in rental apartment.
Because most of the management companies never want residents to get along with each other.
They are afraid that any trouble may happen if residents can have communication.
So I’m surprised at this event!



It was fine day!
We had a good brunch♪

(Our neighbor yummy posted about this event in her blog.)

Japanese Cuisine

Today is Friday!
Of course, I thought that we were going to eat out. (^^)
So, we went to Japanese Restaurant “HINODE” where my classmate recommended.
















Though this Restaurant was crowded with American people, I reminded of our country, because it was as if atmosphere of Japan.

My husband's choice "Sushi Deluxe" ☆My choice "Broiled fresh water eel on bed of rice" which we call "Unagidon"

Also, these taste so good!
I want to go there again!!

Williamsburg

A second day, it was fine day!
We spent a good time in the Williamsburg.

"sheep"
I enjoyed great natural!














This place was restored in the old days as well as the James Town.















In the afternoon, I enjoyed American tastes in eighteenth century when we had a lunch.















The restaurant
was crowded with holiday makers. "Chicken hot pie"


"Peanut butter soup"
I had never taste before!
It’s not sweet, not oily and salty.
Pretty good!








After lunch, we rode on a carriage.
It’s comfortable ride!We saw the beautiful sight like landscape painting.

















I felt as if I slipped back in time to eighteenth century!
Our trip was fantastic and very enjoyable.(^0^)/

James Town

We took atrip to James Town& Williamsburg with our fellows last weekend.

First day, we visited James Town after Queen Elizabeth II official visit.

So I was thrilled!

Back shot of "John Smith"

"Pocahontas" She is very beautiful!

This town is

where English colonist went to America for the first time.
Now, there are remain of a settlement and the town was restored in the old days.

American Item

In Japan, Golden Week holidays finished, didn’t they?
I don’t know if there are consecutive holidays in U.S...
As always, I went to the language school today, but I had a tough day, because I traveled to James Town & Williamsburg this weekend and I drove about 150km!
(I will write about the travel later.)

By the way, It's hot weather in DC since last week.
Also, I often see many American women wear beach sandal.
So I bought it! (^^;)
My choice is havaianas.
There are many kinds of color and pattern in this brand.
I feel that it's comfortable!
So I will usually wear it until becoming cool.

Early summer has come in DC!(^0^)/

The United States Capitol

For the first time, my husband entered into the Capitol this week.

"Dome"
















"The sight from Capitol"

















"Corridor"















"The center of dome"

Corridors are elaborately decorated with wall and ceiling murals that include historical scenes, portraits, and maps related to the development and growth of the U.S.

"A mural of Abraham Lincoln"

My husband Said: That's awesome good!! It really moved me for the first time in many years.　Capitol is like a museum and art gallery, there are lots of luxurious rooms, sculptures, wall paintings and so on.

Furthermore, we are able to see the discussion concerning senate and house of representative. you should visit once in your life.

Philadelphia

Below is picture of Philadelphia where we went to on last Saturday.

















We left our house at 7:00am and then we had breakfast on the way.

After we left by our car, we arrived at Philadelphia two and a half hour later.

Isn't there a monument like this in Nishi-Shinjuku?

It’s a famous monument”Liberty Bell”


Memory of trip♪


In Philadelphia, there are many museums in this city, and there are some tours of charge-free.


I think that Philadelphia is a big city and as academic as DC.
