Swimming at the Jidokan / 児童館でのプール

Mia and I have been enjoying using the Jidokan near our apartment ever since we moved to Tokyo especially since we live in a small apartment. Although I love how I can get pretty much everything in Tokyo except delicious BBQ and Mexican food in Austin, Texas, I miss having more space that Mia can run around.

広大なテキサスから東京に戻ってきてからは狭いマンション生活が少し嫌で時々児童館を活用するようになった。（もともと私は家にじっとしているタイプではない）

Japanese Jidokan is a children's facility/building that has pools during summer time, a little outside park, toys, pens and papers to draw and more...; it offers babies/children's classes for free or very low prices.

アメリカには児童館はないので色々とある日本の児童館には関心する。最近の児童館はプールまであるなんてすごい！

Today was the last swimming day at the Jidokan, so Mia enjoyed being in water with other children. It still gets hot and humid in here, but I can feel the fall is here already by looking at cherry leaves on the ground that changed their colour from green to yellow.

今日は児童館のプールの最終日だったので娘とプール。まだまだ毎日暑い。でも外の桜の葉が緑から黄色に変わり地面に落ちているのを見ると秋の気配を感じる。

I think we had enough of hot days and I am looking forward to my favourite time of the year in Tokyo!

大好きな日本の秋が訪れるのがとても楽しみ！
