Shirakimine

Bright and early this morning, I headed down to Taira port to pick up Erica. Our plan was to find Shirakimine, which is somewhere within the city of Isahaya to view the much talked about cosmos flowers. On our way to Shirakimine, we picked up Alex then tried to found our way.

Shirakimine is famous for the fields of cosmos flowers. This past week, I was told repeatedly by many different people NOT to go on a weekend because of the huge crowds. But since this was the only day we could make it, we figured we'll just have to put up with the crowds..

It turned out not to be that bad!

We ran into a Natsuki, one of my students at Seiryo. A short while late, we bumped into Mori sensei and his family as well. Guess it is the season to go cosmos viewing..!

Erica had wanted to go see the fields in Aso a couple of weekends ago when we ended up going to Mitsui Greenland instead. I'm glad she got a chance to finally see some the beautiful flowers!
