The week went by quickly, and the weekend is already well under-way.
This morning we went for our first decent bike ride in a while; it wasn't an epic ride, but it was a pretty good workout and these days an hour on the bike in the sunshine is better than nothing at all!
This evening we decided to go out for dinner to a restaurant that a friend told us about. It was a buffet restaurant, he said, and much like the Kogen, but with really good sushi. The name of the restaurant is Izumi on Gourmet Dori in Numazu; it's not so far from here and very accessible by car and we'd been meaning to go for a while. So tonight we finally said, "let's go".
I have to say - when someone recommends a restaurant, make sure that he or she has similar tastes to you! While Izumi was ok, it was nothing like the Kogen, the food was mediocre and the atmosphere non-existent. It was a bit like a "truck stop" diner, with the small addition of many small children milling about the open food counter.
The waitresses/service people were, however, delightful, and if the restaurant were more in line with our own gustatory or atmospheric preferences, we would go back.
On another note - I am running in a short 5km race tomorrow...it won't exactly burn off the calories consumed today, but should be a good bit of fun just the same!
