May 26th 2017 66th Birthday!

Friday. Very tired after the previous wekend at the ICLEI conference in Viet Nam. Rika, with two classes in Tokyo today, made an appointment for me to have a foot massage in Kamakura. No other plan. We met up after the massage and decided to have a celebratory something or other in a well-known cake shop near Kamakura Station.

It felt nice to be told that John Lennon and Yoko Ono had once sat in the same seats. (Or at least the same corner — maybe the seats have been changed)

I could never have imagined someone as perfect for me as Rika!

 

And you will have to imagine the mango parfait and cheese cake we had with our coffees, because we didn’t think to take photos of them.

Later, on the spur of the moment we decided to go for an early French dinner at a little place called Chez Aki.

This is turning out to be better than any birthday we could have planned. It doesn’t matter that we will miss the fireworks display from our balcony.  This is great!

Wishing for … (you’ll have to imagine what the wish is)

Thank you Rika and thank you dear friends and relatives for your warm birthday wishes!

  1. Happy 66th Kevin; I’m 3 years ahead of you and the good news is they get better each year. Something to do with “learning” – of the best sort – perhaps…. Since my month in Japan last October I have been thinking about Japan often. Hope to be seeing more of you in months & years to come. btw, I had green light laser surgery 6 weeks ago and body is much happier now; nothing untoward was found. all the best to you both, Richard
