1週間に1度ぐらい軽井沢に行って、スーパーマーケットとそのついでに図書館や本屋さんに行きます。図書館には軽井沢ゆかりの作家の作品や私の好きな作家の全集が置いてあり、ときどき借りて読んでいます。昔、多くの文豪が軽井沢の別荘でどんな作品を書いていたのかしらと気になり、読み始めました。昔の軽井沢の風景を思い浮かべながら読んでいます。
さて、昨日はプリンスショッピングプラザに立ち寄って、お店を見てまわったりテラス席で美味しいサンドイッチを食べたりしました。その後、珍しい贈り物を買おうと、旧軽井沢にも行きましたが、お目当てのお店が工事のため閉まっていて、また出直しとなりました。
行き帰りの道では木々の葉っぱが赤や黄色に色づき始めていて、とてもきれいでした。
I go to Karuizawa about once a week to do shopping at a supermarket and then visit the library or a bookstore. The library has works by authors connected to Karuizawa and complete works by my favorite authors, which I sometimes borrow and read. I am intrigued by what many literary greats wrote while staying in their villas in Karuizawa. As I read, I envision the scenery of Karuizawa as it was in their time.
Yesterday, I stopped by a modern shopping mall, where I looked around the shops and ate a delicious sandwich on the terrace. After that, I went to Old Karuizawa to buy a uncommon gift, but unfortunately, my favorite shop was closed due to renovation, so I have to go back again.
On the way, I noticed that the leaves on the trees were starting to turn red and yellow, which were very beautiful.
