Right after her birth, my parents naturally wanted to meet Mariya.
Today’s Sunday and they are coming to Kofu by train.
I arrived at Kofu station at 11 AM. In the department store “Eclan” by the station, I looked for something for lunch.
I bought two large packs of take-out sushi at Kyodaru.
There is a wine shop, and I bought a bottle of Kofu wine for my parents and one non-alcoholic for me and Katya.
I left sushi and wine bottles in the car, and went to the ticket gate of the station to see my parents.
There was a campaign of Aizu district in Fukushima to invite tourists. “Akabe“, the mascot of Aizu, was helping the campaign.
I met my parents at 11:40 AM. I first took them to my institute to show where I work. I took a picture of them in front of my office building.
Then I took them to our apartment.
We had lunch with sushi over Kofu wines, celebrating the birth of Mariya.
I had asked them to stay one night before their arrival, but they did not take the idea thinking it is not a right time. So I took them back to Kofu station at 2:30 PM. Very short visit.
In the evening, Natalia, Katya’s mother, sent her a picture. It is a picture of a silver spoon for Mariya.
Very impressive! Thank you, Natalia.
