It was sunny and very hot here in
Shioda today.
Yes, it was almost summer!
There were a lot of people on
the beach, and the professional surfing competition was taking place
near Shirahama shrine, on the other hand of this beach.
And the digger
and the crawler dump truck were moving a lot of sand which was brought
by strong north wind during winter to the front of the sea.
They are preparing this beach for
summer!
The sight looked like an another planet!!
Weeding the slope took place at
Aloe field in Shirahama today.
We have a beautiful view looking over
Shirahama Beach at this place.
They are two families from the United States
of America.
One of them have lived in Kamakura and have stayed at
Sakuraya in last May, and the other family came from the United States
and visited Shimoda for the 1st time.
A girl had been sick
since several days ago and had a slight fever.
So I took her to a
pediatric hospital in Shimoda with her family.
I was relieved that she
got better after that.
Thank you very much for staying with us.
See you
again!!
I got a great news on TV today.
Mt. Fuji, a highest mountain in Japan at 3,776m, was listed as a world cultural heritage by the world heritage commitee of UNESCO in Cambodia.
I took my daughter to the school by my car and
took these pictures on the way home this morning.
The sky is covered
with a black cloud and we have a strong wind here in Shimoda, because the typhoon is approaching to Japan.
We usually clean our kitchen before getting into the busy season.
Today I cleaned and waxed the floor to shine.
There were a lot of clouds in the sky, but it
was sunny here in Shimoda today.
I saw a lot of people swimming, walking
and sleeping on the beach.
The weather forecast says the typhoon is
approaching Japan.
So it was the last sunny day today, I guess.
They are French family who live in Tokyo and had stayed at Sakuraya
during last Golden Week in May, and came again for the 2nd time.
On the 2nd day they went to the beach and Shimoda Park to see the hydrangea
flowers. And they went to Tsumekizaki cape after checked out.
They are very beautiful family!
Thank you very much for staying with us.
See you again in September!!
They are from Russia and live in Tokyo.
Two of them have stayed at Pension Sakuraya 2 years ago, and they came
with their friends this time.
After they checked out they went to Hydrangea Festival, Aquarium and Mt.
Nesugata Cable car, but were you able to go to all these places today?
All of them speak Japanese very well, so we had a good comunication with them in Japanese.
Thank you very much for staying with us.
We look forward to meeting you again!!
They came from California and stayed for 3 nights.
During their
stay they went to Shimoda park to see the hydrangea flower festival,
walked in Shimoda town and went to Mt. Nesugata by cable car.
He is a college teacher and a steel drum player and she is a creator of Shibori things in California.
Thank you
