September 24-26, 2003: Kyushu block meeting
We had a torrential rain in the morning in Oita. I was sent to the bus terminal by my husband with car. I took an express bus to Kumamoto.
When the bus entered Aso volcanic crater, the weather was becoming clear and finally fine sky in Kumamoto city.
A monument of Kiyomasa Kato's armor helmet is set on Daikou bridge.
I got off the bus at Kumamoto bus center and arrived the meeting site in a hotel nearby. The massive stone wall of Kumamoto castle reminds me of the great building work of the old workers.
My hotel faces the canal of Kumamoto castle.
I soon checked the site to be used as the block meeting from tomorrow.
In the evening, some members from Kumamoto branch joined me and started to prepare the site.
