Our wonderful hosts the Buerges brought us to Yokohama on a day trip to stroll about the Sankei-en garden as well as a leisurely hike at Kannonzaki Beach. Though we just missed the sakura (cherry blossom) season, the weather and environment was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better day to walk around and take in all of the nature.
