Saunter in Spring #1~Mangiare!~

Hello, how are you?? :) I took a walk with Ms.Yoshida (my second Mom:-P) yesterday, so I'll show you some pictures today. We started our strolling from Canal plaza. (10 minutes walk from JR Otaru station.)

On the back of Canal plaza, there's a vivid colored restaurant named "Mangiare Takinami". In which, you can enjoy Mediterranean food lunch and which has a big lovely cherry tree in front of itself.

Beautiful, isn't it???

Can't help taking pictures!!

Nice to meet you Sakura!

Finally, three sisters came!

This tree has only three Sakura now but, we found

some buds again, so we are looking forward to seeing new babies.
