Park Life

It's getting a bit warm (and wet) for hiking on Sundays, so during the summer months we hang up our boots and take in some culture instead. Yesterday we met our friends for a spot of art and went to see the Dali exhibition at Nagoya City Art Museum.














It was such a good idea evidently, that just about everyone else in Nagoya was there too.... The Japanese are real art lovers and exhibitions are usually busy, but this one was ridiculous. I wish I could have taken pictures inside of the 8-deep crowd around some of the paintings. With a bit of patience, and queuing, you could get to the front of most of the pieces. Here is the queue outside anyway:















Outside, pet owners paraded dogs of all shapes and sizes. Those without dogs (including us) fussed over other people's pooches. I don't think I've ever seen a Mastiff before. Or twin Chihuahuas being carried around in bags (by a guy wearing combats complete with dangling grenades).
