A Walk around Komazawa Park Walk / 駒沢公園の散歩

It was a nice day for a walk so we left our apartment at 11:00am and walked to Komazawa Park. The last time we did that walk, we ended up walking for six hours. We were prepared for another full day of walking but it turns out that the park was a lot closer than we imagined. We realized that when we walked back from the park our first time, we walked in the totally opposite direction of where we lived. Because we didn't get lost today, we walked for a total of three hours.

今日も散歩日和の日で朝十一時に出かけました。アパートから駒沢公園まで歩いた。最初に駒沢公園に行った時、往復で六時間も歩いた。今日もその覚悟で出かけたが、思ったより公園は近かった。最初に行った時の帰りはまったく逆方向に歩いてしまい、それで六時間の散歩になった。今日は迷子にならず、往復で三時間の散歩になった。

We were going to buy lunch at a take-out shop and eat in the park but I realized that most of the items on the menu were over 800 kcal so we decided to go to the soba shop next door instead. We both ordered the ten-seiro which is cold noodles with an assortment of tenpura.

ランチはほっかほっか亭で弁当買って公園で食べるつもりだったが、メニューアイテムが全部８００KCAL以上で、隣のそば屋に行った。僕は美香子と同じ物を注文し、天せいろを食べた。

Before walking around the park, which is quite huge by the way, Mikako had been wanting to go to this ice-cream shop that was located right outside the entrance. It was a gelato shop called La Belina. Mikako ordered a banana gelato. I ordered one of the specials, it was a strawberry rare cheese gelato that also includes lemon gelato and is topped with cookie crunch, graham crackers, and chocolate sauce.

公園を歩き回る前に美香子が気になっていたジェラートの店があるというので、そこに入ってみた。美香子はバナナのジェラートを頼んで、僕は店のメニューにのってたストローベリレーアチーズをチョイスした。僕が注文したものは、三種類のジェラートが入って（ストローベリ、レーアチーズ、とレモン）、で上にクッキクランチとグラハムとチョコレートソースがかけてある。
