たばこの気持ち

私は時期遅れの頃、同級生たちと東京から車を走らせ、塙町の蓮を見に行ったことがあります

受付係の女性は、私の父が仲人をした顔馴染みの方でした

My friends and acquaintances from my hometown Hanawa-cho posted pictures of lotus flowers on Facebook. I once drove from Tokyo with some classmates to see the lotus flowers in Hanawa-cho when the season was a little late. The woman at the reception was a familiar face who my father had acted as matchmaker.

横浜から東京を経て、川越の先まで向かいました

自宅から約2時間、往復だと約4時間か！遠いなぁ

地元の同級生によると、川越もかなり暑いらしい

From Yokohama to Tokyo and then to the end of Kawagoe!

It takes about 2 hours from my house, or about 4 hours round trip! That's a long way!

According to a local classmate, it's pretty hot in Kawagoe, too!
