Kurobe trolley train

The torokko trolley train that moves along the Kurobe Gorge Railway was originally built to shuttle workers to construction sites for the various dams located throughout the Gorge. It runs for about an hour and 20 minutes one way from Unazuki Station to its terminal point, Keyakidaira Station. The route is packed with beautiful views of the Gorge.

Weekend Reflections

I found these reflections in the 2.400-meter highland named Murodo in Mt. Tateyama.
I can't stop showing off the joy I felt in that place.

How about enjoying more reflections here?

Flower Fire

Summer is the season for firework shows in Japan. Today big firework displays were held in many places in Japan. I went to see Kobe Firework Show at the Kobe port. I was so excited to see, hear and feel 10.000 fireworks!!  Great time.

Thank you for sending your kind heart.
My mother gets much better and will come out of the hospital next Monday. Luckily her knee's pain has gone away little by little. Still she can't walk without a walking aid. I'm concerned how her life will be at home after she comes home on Monday. I hope she will get well enough to walk by herself soon.

I dedicate this post to Scenic Sunday.

Ups and Downs

Now I'm back after a four-day trekking tour in Mt. Tateyama, Toyama Prefecture in Japan. All days were blessed with beautiful weather and I had a great time to walk around the mountain. Perfect trip!!

 But I must confess that after I arrived home last night, a long night started. I found my mother looked different, strange.I decided to call the ambulance...... Too much to talk. Shortcut. I came back home around two o'clock midnight.

 My mother will stay in hospital for a few days to get treatment. And to my surprise, she looks happy in the ward to talk with other patients. Her pain on the right knee now goes away, thanks to the medicine.

I restart reading blogs and posting mine.
I dedicate this post to Thursday Challenge. This week's theme is 'Tough'.
