The typhoon #27 passed away yesterday, but we didn't have any damages.
I took this picture on Shirahama Beach this after noon on the way to Shimoda.
I went to Shimoda for shopping with my family.
We had very good day under the blue sky.
By the way, I started cleaning our guest rooms 3 days ago.
When we have a lot of customers in busy season
we can't do it, so and
waxed the floor of the Western style room after I got all of things out
of room.
A family who have stayed with us during last Golden Week came to
Sakuraya and stayed for the second time.
Their children are very cute!
We miss you, little girls!
See you someday again!
Last night and today we didn't have many
customers I went to Ebisujima island for snorkeling with my son this
afternoon.
Even my son is in summer holiday we can't go and travel
anywhere because of our job, so I decided to go for him.
Before we arrived at this island
it was cloudy but it became sunny after that.
There were some people who
were snorkeling with swim wear there, but my son put on the wet suit
because the north wind was a little cold for him.
Today we got an envelope via airmail.
It was sent from our customers who came from Switzerland and stayed at
Sakuraya for 8 nights in last April.
We found out some drawings which
were given to my son from the children and a postcard of their hometown.
My son remembers the children because he played UNO with them many
times, and of course he is excited very much to get these presents.
When I took these photos my son was just going
to bed, so he looks a little sleepy.
But I'm sure that these presents
made him very happy!!!
Thank you very much!!
I went to the Shimoda floating aquarium with my family today after a long time.
It was a second day of Black Ship
Festival in Shimoda.
The official parade took place from 11:30 AM in the town and a
lot of people came to see it.
They also had a lot of shops and
performances today.
As I had a lot of customers yesterday and today I was not able to go, but my wife took pictures instead of me.
The mayor and the visitors from
New Port city come to the primary school in Shirahama every year since
13 years ago, and the school children have a welcome ceremony and an
exchange meeting with them.
I participated in this meeting as an
interpreter today.
The school children showed them some good
performances, but the chidren were really welcoming the visitors from
their heart when they were singing and dancing.
After that they had an
exchange meeting at each class.
I think it was a very good and excited experience for
the children.
As it became sunny and was a
little warmer than morning.
My son and I went cycling to Minami Izu town
which is located on the south side of Shimoda city this afternoon.
We
parked our car at the parking lot on the river side and went to the
beach by bicycle.
My son was very excited and we had a good time today.
We had very strong west wind but
it was sunny and very warm in Shirahama today.
It was the last day of
Golden week, so there were not many people on the beach.
But the sea
water was really clear. I wanted to dive and snorkel!
I went to Shimoda
to ride a bike with my son after I finished cleaning guest rooms this
late afternoon.
They live in Tokyo and have come to Shimoda for several times.
But it was a first time to stay at Pension Sakuraya and they stayed for 5 nights.
Thank you very much for staying with us.
