winter vacation

Did you have a nice winter vacation? My winter vacation had a few events, so now I' like to talk about how I spent time on New year's Day, which was only event.


I spent New Year's Day with my family, father, mother, and younger sister. We went to first visit to Kitano shrine. Even New Year's Day, there were a few people, so we didn't take time so long such as Ikuta shrine(This picture is Kitano shrine).  After praying, I and my sister bought Omikuzi, I got chuukichi, it means soso lucky, but my sister got daikichi, it mean perfectly lucky. She has a enter exam for high school, so She seemed so happy, and I thought how she had good luck.

Then we left there, we went to starbucks near the shrine and we took a coffee. The starbucks is a little special, so the building use a    house that foreigner lived in once. This looked European and as to interior, at 2F all over the wall, there was many paintings, that was grape, sax, a woman in farm, something tree...  So many pictures that I could not see all of them, but the atmosphere was so impressive that I will not forget. I strongly recommend that you will go to the starbucks!!

After that, we went to my grandfather's house. Last year 12.20, my grandfather's pet dog was dead, so This year I was a little sad... The dog was 16 years old, so he was 100 years old if he had been human.
Even he was a large dog kept out side, Very long life that was. Maybe because he felt no stress and was so happy.
This winter break had a few event and a little happiness, but I felt deeply something important...
Finally Rest in Peace, Andy.
