Tea for 10 , wine and sake

and


We had a tea by 4 o'clock the ten of us and I tried to do my first paper bird . I thought this was the good bye last cup for the road but not at all . When we got back to the Station we were met by Tatsuo's friend , Ichiro, a journalist of Asahi who had resserved for all of us a room in a restaurant for testing wine and sake with a lot of food again including various salads , vegs, pickles, hhebabs ! I could not beleive we would be abble to eat again at 5:30 but we did until 8 ! It was a real wonderful way to end a wonderful day .

Mr Yamamoto 's son has already be twice in Ireland and even did a thesis on the famine so the connexion was easy to make and I quickly knew I had a new friend !
