From Socrates Park, which I went last weekend for a yoga class, I ran up north by the water towards Astoria Park. The park, famous for its pool (out of season), also had tennis courts, basketball courts, track and was full of excitement.
Lots of people were walking their dogs and running.
I don't remember seeing a sky so blue in a long time. In Tokyo, well, there really isn't space to see much of the sky (although that is a little too exaggerated). But mostly, I guess I hadn't taken the time to just gaze at the sky or appreciate it...
Astoria is about 15 min. away from Midtown, residential, a little bit like Youga (an area in Tokyo)?
But the aspect of many ethnicities and restaurants is similar to Hiroo.
The grass under the bridge kind of reminds me of Shiba-koen too.
だいぶ親近感が湧いてきました。笑
I am feeling more familiarity with this area everyday.
午後は再びヨガへ。
ルームメイトおすすめのJodiのクラスに参加。
In the afternoon, I went back to the yoga studio to take a class with Jodi, whom my roommate recommended.
スタジオへ入ると小柄な女性。
そして透き通った目!!!
I walk in and there is a small lady
with such clear eyes!!
始まる前から、あ、この人好きだ、と惹きつけられてしまいました。
Instantly, I was so drawn to her, and I knew I was going to like her.
今日参加してきたのはBasicクラスで、来てる人の雰囲気がちょっと今までと違う感じ。
This was a Basics class. The class atmosphere was a little bit different from the last two.
Tomorrow I get to play with the Pilates equipments
at my first session this trip with Deborah!
I am now realising how privileged I'd been to have access to Pilates equipments all the time.
