And I didn’t do a thing until 3. Just napped and read.

Because I’m me, eventually something had to happen. A walk would be enough, so I walked to the river.

The Yodogawa river is home to an island. On the island are some municipal buildings, a park, a museum, and of course office buildings. There’s also a nice riverfront path to walk along.

Nakanoshima park is mostly rose gardens. Not a lot to see this time of year but a few stragglers were blooming. 

Froggy liked that one the best.

Osaka City Central Hall is a performance hall. At Christmas time a light show is held outside. 

These two buildings are so European looking. I’m surprised that they’re still standing. Must not have been bombed during the war.

The old Bank of Japan building is very imposing. It has a lot of historical significance. If I had all the time in the world I’d like to see a tour happen.

The rest of my day was spent admiring some sculpture along the riverfront. 

Sorry Katie, no cats today.
