We walked about 7,000 steps playing park golf this afternoon.

It was warm, and I felt of early summer. It is reported that lilacs are now in full bloom in Sapporo and "Lilac festival" is being held there. Another popular festival in early summer, "Yosakoi dancing festival" will get underway tomorrow. The most beautiful season in Hokkaido is coming.

 In the afternoon, I went to the park golf  course "54 Park Golf Course" with Ayako, and enjoyed playing for about two hours. This course has some steep slopes and we have to walk up and down, so we think it good for exercise. Ayako wore a pedometer, and said we had walked about 7,000 steps during our play.

We heard Mr.Seizo Wada, a former chairman of our neighborhood association, passed away.

"Skype", an international telecommunication system by internet, which we usually use is out of order. What is happening to it? We can't contact Takashi and Sachiyo in California.
