 “Almost Sunset” Cedar Park, 2026

It’s very hot these days (as it is everywhere it seems) so I’ve been going for my run-walks in the evening. Right around sunset seems to be the optimal time for me. I’m sure it’s because because the sky and shadows look particularly nice.

 “Through the Window” Kansai 2026

I enjoy the window seat since I’m fascinated by clouds and the dynamic views you get from above. I don’t travel enough to ever get tired of these views. I love them. ✈️

Anyway, we’re back in Texas and I’m a bit sad. 😔 Please be patient as I catch up on the blog posts.

 “Forest Sculpture” Tatsuno, 2026

Today I went on a little hike around town, and even up into the hills. I came across a mysterious sculpture in a clearing, and it felt like something straight out of a video game. So cool! We’ve been having some really nice clouds in the sky lately, so I spent a good chunk of the walk just taking photos. A fun afternoon all around. ☁️📷

 “Katsu Curry” Tatsuno, 2026

Today I had a solo lunch at 脂楽亭, a nearby katsu restaurant. I went with the katsu curry, and I was not disappointed. The katsu was thick, tender, and juicy, with panko breading that was crispy and delicious. The curry was really tasty too, and I left feeling very satisfied with the meal.

The chef and server were both friendly and efficient, which made the whole experience even better. The restaurant has a long counter, regular tables, and a tatami mat area, so it works well whether you’re dining solo or bringing the family. 🍛

After lunch, I went for a short stroll in the neighborhood and enjoyed the summer breeze and beautiful clouds. So nice!
