Mia got her Japanese passport / 娘が日本のパスポートを無事に取得

Finally... Mia's Japanese passport!, a photo by fumika yamamoto on Flickr.

Mia and I took a bus to go to Japan consulate in Houston. It was about 3 hours ride, so it worked out okay.

娘と二人でバスに乗ってヒューストンにある日本領事館へ。そこで娘は日本のパスポートを無事に取得。

Last time when I was at Japan consulate was right after M9 earthquake in Japan. I was in a mess emotionally from what I remember.

領事館に着いたらそういえば最後にここに来た時は東北大震災の後で精神的に大変だったなぁ。

I went to the same Italian restaurant, Perbacco that an employee from Japan consulate told me to go to before.

お昼は以前に領事館のスタッフに紹介してもらったイタリアンのお店。

I ordered the same oil based clam pasta just like last time since it was Italian mama's recommendation.

オーダーしたのもママさんおすすめの同じオイルベースのあさりのパスタ。

Pasta there was delicious.

以前と同じで美味しかった♥

Lunch came with salad and some bread.

ちなみにランチはサラダとパン付き。

It is hard to find a good Italian restaurant in Texas!

テキサスで美味しいイタリアンのお店と見つけるのはなかなか大変なのでまたまた食べに行って良かったとちょっと感激した★
