Tame Tuesday

The heat and humidity that we usually expect for summer has finally arrived. Yesterday (Tuesday), we didn't have any big plans for the day and our legs and other muscles were still achy from the Fuji climb, so we turned on the fans, opened some windows and doors, and did some house cleaning! Not exciting, but a good way to recover from our hike.

In the afternoon, we went with a couple of friends up to our favourite beer hall for an early dinner followed by a beer in the garden. It was pleasant, as usual, but I think I really shouldn't eat that much in one day, let alone one meal!


After getting home, the summer sky was remarkably free of its usual haze, and we were able to clearly see the rest stations dotting the trails up Mt. Fuji.



Very cool to see our various stops right from our doorstep!

Today we're heading out to Shizunami Beach, which is not too far from here, but far enough that we've made reservations at a little minshuku there. We're both looking forward to lying on the beach, reading books and relaxing.
