Ayako went to Sapporo to see her sister and her husband, brother-in-law.

  As the weather got better, Ayako went to Sapporo by bus to see her sister in the care house and her husband alone in the condominium. She left home at 9:30 a.m. and returned home at around 3:00p.m., when I was walking along the Tomakomai river. Ayako said her sister was sleeping and didn't speak even a single word, and her husband was well tough living confined to a wheel chair.
  Before I left for the Tomakomai river, I watched on TV the final game of high school basketball championships tournament. Sapporo Yamanote high school beat out Yamagata comercial high school and won the championship for the second consecutive year.
