Fall is here!


It was a very comfortable 22C (70F) yesterday and we got out and enjoyed the sunshine and cool breezes by taking a stroll through Tokugawaen Park.

History Lesson:
Tokugawaen was built in 1695 as a retirment residence for Mitsumoto, head of the 3 houses of Takugawa and second generation Lord of the Owari domain. The buildings were destroyed in 1945 during WWII. Then the over 100 acre area was used as a general park until 2004, when massive renovations created this lovely Japanese garden.

After all that walking, needed a little refreshment!
