2011/07/25 Today’s Shirahama Beach

110725beach01 This morning the weather forecast said it would be almost cloudy today, but actually it was sunnny here in Shirahama.

I took this picture on the way to the nearest beach "Shirahama Beach", and after that I went to Shirahama Tourist Information to take some pictures.

Our customers who came from Chiba prefecture next to Tokyo for the 1st time were surprised at this blue water.

2011/07/10 Swimming in Shimoda

110710beach08 When I was cleaning guest rooms after check-out my son came and said,

"There is nothing to do, and I'm getting tired, dad.!

I had a lot of things to do and was very busy today, but I decided to go to the beach with my son for swimming.

Because we will have a lot of guests next weekend, and I will not be able to swim with him.

The water was stil a little bit cold, but we could have a good time on the beach.
