Great Time

Yesterday, I went to Shimabara to see my friend with my fellow. We arrived Shimabara, and first of all, we went to see her. It was after a lapse of about half a year for me, so I was very glad to see her.
And we arrived at her home during daytime. And then, we were given a baked cheese cake made by her mother. It was so great!
After that, we went to Masago. We were treated to a wonderful meal again! We had a great time there! I want to see her and her mother again before long!
