Sunday in the trees

I woke up this morning with big plans for an excursion: to take the children to the Toto Company's "toilet museum" to see a toilet timeline! (Only in Japan, where there's a museum dedicated to anything and everything.)

Then reality hit: Lucinda and Arno hadn't had enough sleep on Saturday night and were already whining. So we took them, on their scooters, to Arisugawa Park. We've been there a hundred times, but today we found something new.



This was part of (I think) a temporary exhibition of treehouses around the city. The modern design had lovely carved railings and window frames, branches as art on the walls, and a lightweight ceiling/roof. Here's half of the inside:


On the other side was a stove that burned tiny pellets of compressed wood. I wonder if someone slept there overnight?


Lucinda and I went on the balcony...


And watched Blaine and Arno play baseball.
