UCHISHOKU 内食





Sometimes I really miss Japan. The only thing that helps on such a
moment is to buy something from there or to do something Japanese.
Wednesday was such a day. I went to the bookstore, hoping to find a
Japanese book and by wonder I immediately found one!
Tokyo Cult Recipes is a great cookbook, not only for the recipes but
also for the stories and pictures (see below).
Today I tried some dishes (pics above) and brought a little Japan into
my home.

from today




Spring is in the air. The animals graze in the pastures, we have dinner 
outside again and blossoms are everywhere.

magnolias




Today JJ and I went to the National botanic garden, to see the 
Magnolias bloom.
They are so pure, white and beautiful.
When I cleaned up our bedroom later this day, there was a pigeon 
watching me through the window.

walk to serradilla






Yesterday we climbed to the top of a mountain in Monfrague
a National Park of Extremadura.
It was a tough walk and vultures were circling above us, 
waiting for us to give up. 
After fourteen kilometers we arrived in a small town, Serradilla
Pictures of the town on Katy's blog.

white storks in trujillo




Monday we visited Trujillo. A small city with a stork's nest on every 
roof. 
The storks have promised to bring JJ and me a little baby boy 
mid-September!
