Our second week in The States - New England
We left Wilmington, Pennsylvania, on a Shinkansen-like fast train and arrived about 5 hours later at Providence, Rhode Island. We were greeted by Mario's friend, John, who was once studying for a few weeks at Taishoen bonsai nursery in Japan quite a few years ago.
The next day we went to New England Bonsai Garden in Massachusetts and Mario was back to work again!
Next up, NYC...

We have no idea what the future holds, but we’re sure it will be adventurous!

Dinner with John
And a sunken house hehe
At New England Bonsai
They cooked a BBQ for us on our first night there
Some ribs??
We ordered this much on purpose so we could have lunch the next day! Also a great thing about the restaurants we went to is that they always offer the leftovers to be boxed up to take home!
Mario and Suthin
We visited his garden near Boston and it was amazing!
Back at John's - Mother's Day Dinner
John's daughter Denise, his mum, John, his wife, Sandi and Mario. We were thinking of you mom!
