a neat find!

With the weather being nice -- we decided to seek some adventure in the Peacock Park (known for the giant zoo cages of Peacocks -- blue and white ones). We found some trails that were really nice and reminiscent of Saipan boonie stomping and the Cliff Walk of Newport. The best part is we were able to let Finn and Bonny off leash, which they haven't had a lot of opportunity here in Japan to experience. They were SOOOOO happy (and EXHAUSTED afterwards...)
Thank GOD Greg had Cora for this "stroll" -- it looks pretty tame here, but there was some rough terrain that challenged me a lot. His ship-board life of climbing ladders had him well-prepared, but I was puffing and whining (or so I'm told....)
Finn SWAM!! Just like back in Saipan :) He didn't mind that it was 40 degrees outside (instead of 85) nor that the water was in the 30s instead of the 70s.... I had to shake my head a bit to remind myself that THIS IS JAPAN!

I am so glad that the canine kids were able to enjoy themselves ---- I assume Bonny had no desire to even go in the water

Looked like fun ---- where is that park located?
