Welcome to Atsuko\u2019s note\u00a0<\/p>\n

Good morning. We left the hotel at 8:30 a.m. We stopped at a gas station, but I couldn’t find any state-shaped magnets.<\/p>\n

After arriving at the venue, we went to the catering area and had lunch, as usual.<\/p>\n

I had tacos yesterday, but I’m having tacos for lunch again today. I like them, though, so it’s fine.<\/p>\n

Rafa, the official staff cat, greeted me near the dressing room.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u697d\u5c4b\u304b\u3089\u30b9\u30c6\u30fc\u30b8\u3078\u306f\u3001\u304d\u308c\u3044\u306a\u690d\u3048\u8fbc\u307f\u306e\u524d\u3092\u901a\u3063\u3066\u3044\u304d\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

To get from the dressing room to the stage, we walk past a beautiful flowerbed.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\u3055\u3059\u304c\u690d\u7269\u5712\u3001\u30b9\u30c6\u30fc\u30b8\u5468\u308a\u3082\u304d\u308c\u3044\u306a\u690d\u3048\u8fbc\u307f\u3002<\/p>\n

Since it’s a botanical garden, the area around the stage is also surrounded by beautiful plantings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since the seating area is a lawn, audience members bring their own outdoor chairs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u690d\u7269\u5712\u3092\u6563\u7b56\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n

I took a stroll through the botanical garden.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

A passing shower came through, but it stopped, so we quickly did a sound check.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\u30b5\u30a6\u30f3\u30c9\u30c1\u30a7\u30c3\u30af\u5f8c\u306f\u6669\u3054\u98ef\u3002<\/p>\n

After the soundcheck, we had dinner.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

I had salmon, curry-flavored cauliflower, potatoes, bread, and a little bit of dessert.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u30b1\u30fc\u30bf\u30ea\u30f3\u30b0\u4f1a\u5834\u3068\u697d\u5c4b\u306e\u5834\u6240\u304c\u9060\u304f\u3001\u3057\u304b\u3082\u690d\u7269\u5712\u306e\u4e2d\u3092\u901a\u3089\u306a\u3044\u3068\u884c\u3051\u307e\u305b\u3093\u3002<\/p>\n

The catering area and the dressing room are far apart, and we have to walk through the botanical garden to get between them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u690d\u7269\u5712\u3092\u901a\u308b\u305f\u3073\u306b\u690d\u7269\u306b\u611f\u52d5\u3002<\/p>\n

Every time I pass through the botanical garden, I am moved by the plants.<\/p>\n
