Autumn

While Autumn has been slow coming here in Hayato, we find it's clear skies and golden fields a sweet reward. The views of Sakurajima, our volcano neighbor, are only getting better as the air is drying out. A new friend introduced us to a plateau named "Highest Plain". Our new friend is a janitor who has taught himself English. He enjoys practising on us and we enjoyed the gift of an afternoon picnic in the sun. Things are only getting busier here, but the friendships we find remind us that taking time for people is like stopping for air. Necessary and very relaxing.
