Osaka ni kaerimashita

After a nice two-week stint back home, I returned to Osaka this past Sunday. The weather is definitely cooler than when I left, and many of the leaves have changed. The trees are not yet bare, though, so hopefully this weekend I'll make it finally to the quasi-national park and check out the scenery. I know I keep threatening to do that.

My compadres seemed to enjoy the gifts I brought back, including maple sugar candy and salt water taffy, although there was some concern over the bright blue flavors of the latter. (Mmm, blue.)
