Heat Wave

Now that rainy season has ended, the summer heat has taken hold with a vengeance. It's generally clear blue skies here, and blazing sunshine, with highs of 37 degrees celsius. According to the news reports, people are experiencing heat stroke, dehydration, and in some cases, death, so they advise everyone to drink lots of water, consume salty foods/supplements, carry a parasol, and use cool ice packs to cool down.

Me - I figure that the best cure for this heat is to hit the beach! Tomorrow being Saturday, I've decided to get on the train early in the morning and make my way to Wakayama prefecture, where there are some reportedly nice beaches on Osaka bay!
