My sister and I in Sendai / 妹と一緒に仙台に

My sister only spent two days in Aomori with us and as I had a business in Sendai the following day, I suggested she visit Sendai on her own during the day and we could meet up at night and have dinner together. My sister thought it was a great idea as well so we booked her a room in the same hotel that I was staying at. There was an izakaya located near the hotel which my colleagues and I decided to go to and they said to feel free to bring my sister along.

妹は青森に二日しかいなかったが、自分が仙台に出張があったため、妹に昼は仙台を探索して、夜は一緒に夕飯をたべようっと。妹の為に同じホテルに部屋を予約して、あとは夜で合流することになった。同業者たちと飲み行くことになって、みんなが妹も連れても良いと言われ、ホテルの近くの居酒屋に行きました。

I started off my day with a decent breakfast.

午前中からちゃんと朝食を食べた。

This is the hotel we stayed at. A reasonably priced business hotel. The hotel even has a nice large public bath.

仙台に泊まったホテル。お手頃の価格のビジネスホテル。大浴場もあり。

I was hanging out with this guy in the lobby while waiting for my sister.

The izakaya we went to was right across the hotel parking lot. 

居酒屋で飲んで食べたのはホテルの駐車場の向かい側にありました。

The name of the place was [Hana no Yume] which translates to "A Flower's Dream".

居酒屋の店名は「はなの夢」。

Everybody loves gyoza!

みんな餃子大好き！

Uh-oh, we switched from drinking beer to ordering a bottle of wine.

やばい。ビールから最初に飲んだけど、途中でワインのボトルに変わった。

My sister said she had such a great time and she laughed so much her face hurt!

妹が凄い楽しめたので、笑いすぎて、顔が痛いと言ってた！

Breakfast at the hotel. As my colleagues and I had another busy day, my sister took the shinkansen back to Tokyo and would be flying back home to the States today. Although it was a short visit, we made the most of it. Next week, my mother will be coming to visit.

同業者たちと今日も一日忙しいけど、妹はこれから新幹線に乗って東京へ。それから成田空港でアメリカ帰りだ。妹と一緒に居るのはちょっと短い時間だったが、たっぷり遊びました。来週は自分の母が青森に来る予定。
