Maybe you can do a lil sketch of Suhee napping for another time? I just don't know how to picture her napping in a park...is she on a bench? Head in your lap? On a blanket? I'd like to know in which way it is acceptable to nap publicly in Japan. Also, that tunnel is badass. Wish I knew about it when we were going to Izumi.

As to your question, the only place I ever saw nighthawks was at the University of Portland. Suddenly the field would be alive at night with dive-bombing birds and their pealing cry. The sort of thing that can be happening in front of folk without anyone actually noticing the transition.

You know those platforms where old people sometimes sit and do agrarian tasks like sorting seeds or peeling garlic or, I guess taking a nap in the afternoon? This park had a few of those nestled in the tree groves. I'll put it on my drawing list ;-)

The tunnel is pretty great, if you ever find yourself down there again!
