After a rainy start the warm autumn sun smiled upon us and we could not only learn more about aikido during the somewhat different than usual training, but also enjoy the nature outside.

On Saturday afternoon we were allowed to use the extensive garden again for a barbecue. Sitting and standing together in the green, far away from the daily routine, having grilled fish, vegetables, meat, yakisoba (fried noodles) and other delicious stuff, one had the leisure to get to know each other better.

This nice atmosphere and the feeling of the soft onsen water (hot spring) on the skin are having a lasting effect.
