Visit to Hakone Gardens
On Saturday we went to Saratoga for a visit to Hakone Gardens. Funny thing is, I never knew this beautiful park existed until that day. Did you know that it was one of the locations where Memoirs of a Geisha was filmed?
The event was organized by D’s co-worker, and we met with the other members of the group at the park entrance around 12 noon. First item on the agenda was a pot luck picnic - the group had about 20 people and we had quite a spread - sushi, salad, teriyaki chicken, chicken strips, dessert … everybody had their fill. We mingled, we talked, but most of it was about work because pretty much everyone was from the same company.
Rebecca had a blast at the gardens. She got to be part of a Tea Ceremony, see tall bamboos, beautiful flowers, do some hiking, and meet Dad’s friends. The weather was absolutely beautiful!
