We awoke this morning to find Anthony was playing with his cars, which, as normal, means lining them up in some neat arrangement. I'm not quite sure what little imaginary world he'd built for himself, but understood that it had something to do with an airport.

Anthony's “Airport-Related” Project
He's been lining things up since before he could walk, and for the last four years, he's loved lining up cars, either caravan style or parked neatly. The scene above was one he made today, but he could have made it just as well three years ago or any time in between. I feature today's car parking simply because I thought the three VW Beatles were lined up in a particularly photogenic way, and I like the photo I took.
We have a dozen or so of these little Beatles, having gotten one free with each bottle of Coke during a promotion last summer. They're a tad over an inch long.
Here are the busses. (Compare to the last picture in this post.)
Your son lines them up ever so carefully. Mine throws them. Preferably (to him) at the dog. Sigh.
Oh, and you got a free little car with *each* bottle of Coke last summer? Man, if they’d run that promotion here, we’d have enough cars for Anthony to line up from Tennessee to Japan. And back. Several times.
On the other hand, I’m sure the dog is grateful there was no such promotion here.
Hi Jeffrey,
we will leave Japan next week (I got a surprising offer for a very interesting job in Germany, and we really have to take that chance; I have to start working on July 2nd), and of course we leave with lots of regret. But I rely on you for more wonderful pictures from Kyoto and other places in Japan, to help me to keep my souvenirs fresh!
Best,
Julia
Oh my, I’ll miss your photoblog! At least, unless you pick it up again from Germany (which can be known for its beauty as well). Best of luck! —Jeffrey
Finally she only left Japan almost 4 years later, as it seems from her blog…
