rocket slide at a park in Fussa

twenty-eight years and a million words

I went for a fair bike ride on a friend's son's ride one fine day in May. It was a 65km round trip to Fussa and back. And though I didn't know it, this would not be the last I'd see of this cute rocket-shaped set of monkey bars. Three years later, I would arrive at the same place from my home in Kokubunji!
