Sunshine and white wine

Rainy season is fully and truly over and we have been greeted with more than a week of bright, hot sunshine.

A winery that I regularly order from was offering a nice selection of mixed reds and whites. While usually a die-hard reddie, the heat prompted me to try out some of the fine whites. Though I will not switch from reds, I have discovered an appreciation for some of the better whites...

Meanwhile, we've also been beating the heat with long, hot vigorous bike rides (ok, that led to dehydration and chronic fatigue...), and another day spent on the beach. This morning, legs too tired to consider another bike ride, we drove my Mini over the mountains, taking winding backroads (and avoiding traffic!) to Usami beach in Izu, to spend a gorgeous day in the sun.

A day near the water sounds like just the thing.

It takes a brave man to wear that hat. :D
Glad to hear the rain is over and done with and you are trying new and different alcohols ;)
A day at the beach is always a good way to spend some time.
