pot of tea

tea pen drawing
sketch in pen, tea pot and cup
A couple of weeks ago, I went to my favorite Chinese restaurant on the island. The interior and decor are beautifully done with amazing asian art work and sculptures throughout the restaurant.

For the first time I ordered a pot of tea to warm me up. I was pleasantly surprised when they brought me an iron pot of tea that sits on a wooden stand.

Now if only we had a Japanese and Indian restaurant within a quick drive, I'd be set. I guess I can't complain. At least, I also have a good Mexican restaurant and Vietnamese restaurant within a 30 minute drive.

Hope everyone in the U.S. had a good holiday weekend.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport.
