We woke up late today as a result of a late night last night enjoying our Sake Gorilla purchases and watching No Laughing Hospital. Also could be the jet lag (so much easier in this direction!!).
When we finally got our act together, it was decided that today was a beach day. Off we headed to one of the local beaches. It was considerably cooler by the water with a nice breeze which made the extreme heat completely bearable. Not too many people, dropped our stuff and headed right in. The water was perfect, and there were quite a few waves, but the water stayed really clear. It was wonderful. Just as we were getting out, it started to thunder, and then pour.
After we cleaned up, we had a late afternoon snack at a cafe (Queen's Cafe) with two other ALT's. Enjoyed chicken, pork and shrimp sandwiches. Yum. Left there just in time to head up to Kuri-san's a kayaking friend of Steves, to help celebrate his youngest son's fifth birthday.
The kid was crazy, but the food was delicious, and our hosts incredibly welcoming. We got to meet the pet goat, and also the two pet hamsters. Good times.
Tonight we're taking it easy, in preparation for our big bike ride tomorrow back to Hirata (where Yoshimi lives). Hope it's not too sunny!
