Fun with our new camera

After years of hoping, waiting, and saving, along with some helpful contributions from our family, we finally bought a nice digital SLR camera. Throughout the weekend, we used it to capture some of the sights around our neighborhood here in Tokyo.

There are photos from a massive park that lines the Tamagawa river, about a half mile from our home. People were outside on Saturday afternoon, as the temperature was at its warmest yet this year (around 60 degrees), riding bikes, playing baseball, soccer, and tennis, and spending time with friends and family. The rest of the photos are from a nearby restaurant, where we met some of our teacher friends for a few bites on Sunday night.

This weekend was a welcomed break from the cold, dreary clouds of the past weeks, and from both of us coughing day and night from our colds. I'm sure we'll have plenty more photos coming next week, after our visit to Kamakura (see below).
