we had a long weekend last week. and so, we packed our bags, hopped on the train ticked off a whole bunch of places - nara, osaka and naoshima. but before the big adventures, we stopped by nagoya to visit the family for a day. here are a few snaps from nagoya ::
muu, the seasoned shinkansen traveller. snoozed and came out for a snuggle..
remember this little baby? he is all toddler-like, walking and always up to some mischief.
revisited the factory
where the husband worked as a diligent japanese worker bee during his vacation...
each place in japan has unique designs on their man-hole covers. and in nagoya, its urm.. an ant!
took musashi for a 2 hours walk along the river. way too adventurous for our city dog.
and enjoyed a little bit of the country-side and fresh air.
and in the evening, the entire clan went out for a boisterous dinner of yaki-niku (grilled meat) and soju leaving the men tipsy and red, engaging in copious amount of dog-hugging and baby-kissing.
it was hilarious and we miss being around family.
nagoya is always good for the heart.

Musashi looks ADORABLE in the first pic! And I like how it's becoming a seasoned traveller!
