「2009 Lower House Election」　　

The turnout--69.27%--is the highest
since the new election system was introduced
in 1996.

The Democratic Party of Japan won the election --308 seats,
while the Liberal Democratic Party 119 seats.

The DPJ-led Cabinet is said to be formed around September 14.

Who knows the DPJ's ability to govern?

I hope they will do better than the LDP-Komeito coalition.

I hope the LDP will be a constructive and responsible opposition
party.

A heavy rain is beating against the windowpanes of my room.

Typhoon No.11 is coming to Tokyo.

I hope it will not cause any damage.

「tour to Iwate, Akita and Aomori (12)」　　

(Hachiman-tai Plateau, Akita and Iwate)

I stood on the observation platform in the parking area.

If you want to go to the top of Hachiman-tai Plateau,
you'll start from here.

Oh! How I wish I could! No, the day will never come to me.

「tour to Iwate, Akita and Aomori (10)」　　

(Suiren-numa Pond, Hakkoda Mountain in Aomori)

My bus ran and ran for Suiren-numa Pond.
I was been looking out of the window all the way there.

A range of Hakkoda mountains made me feel lonely.
Autumn had already come there.

「tour to Iwate, Akita and Aomori (9)」　　

(Oirase Keiryu in Aomori)

The hotel where I stayed was beside the Oirase-keiryu.
Its name was Oirase Keiryu Hotel.

I got up early the next morning and enjoyed walking along
the river.

How clean and clear!

「tour to Iwate, Akita and Aomori (8)」　　

(Lake Towada in Aomori)

Around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, my bus started
for Lake Towada.

A light rain was falling when I stood before 'Statue of Maidens',
the last sculpture by Kohtaro Takamura.

I remembered the day I watched the statue with my dear husband
---43 years ago.

Oh, what a long way I've come without him!
