Spring is here! @coffee stand hana

金沢の中でも好きな場所、尾張町、大手町、白鳥路、お堀通りのどこを歩いてももう桜が満開です。まだ3月なのに…。桜を見ながら、会いたかった人(初対面、1ヶ月ぶり、数週間ぶり)に会って、過ごしたい場所で過ごした半日でした。

Cherry blossoms are in full bloom in my favorite places in Kanazawa: Owaricho, Otemachi, Hakuchoro, and Ohoridori, even though it's still March!  It was a half day off. I was spending time with people I wanted to meet (for the first time, for the first time in a month, and for the first time in a few weeks) in the place where I wanted to visit.

いつものCoffee Stand hanaで、マシュマロが入ったクッキーとラテ。いつ行っても心地よい場所。
Cookies with marshmallows and latte at Coffee Stand hana, a comfortable place anytime we visit.

自分のわがままのせいで長く疎遠になっていた親友と、また近づいて…時間を共に過ごせるなんて、なんて幸せ。お互いに子供時代に金沢にゆかりがあり(彼女は金沢に住んでいて、私は年に数回金沢を訪れていた)、北関東の陸の孤島で出会い、金沢つながりがきっかけで私から近づいて友人になって学生時代を一緒に過ごし、大人になってまた2人とも金沢でこうして過ごしているという不思議!!!

I feel so happy to be able to spend time with my best friend who I've been estranged from for a long time due to my selfishness. We both had ties to Kanazawa when we were children (she'd lived in Kanazawa, and I'd visited Kanazawa several times a year). It's miracle that we became friends in Kanto and spent our school days together, and now we're both in Kanazawa!!!

満開の桜と石川門
Cherry blossoms in full bloom and Ishikawa-mon


石川門をバックにした桜は確かに美しいですが、白鳥路と大手門の風景の方が好きだったな。写真を撮り忘れました。
The cherry blossoms with Ishikawa-mon in the background are defenitely beautiful, but I like the scenery of Hakuchoro and Otemon much more. I forgot to take a picture of them:-(
