This Friday, the 20th, marks my final day of Japanese school. I'm a little sad, but also a little happy, as now I can spend some time exploring Japan a bit more freely.
It will be two weeks tomorrow since Brian had surgery to remove a neuromatic nerve in his foot, and he is healing totally well, and he's ready for action (as well as a little get-away). So this weekend, we area going to do one of our favourite summer past-times - we're going to hit the beach! And, considering the recent heat wave with highs of 37 C nearly every day, the timing is perfect. This time, we're going somewhere neither of us has been, so it will be a vacation weekend for both of us. After looking at some maps and checking transportation schedules, we've decided to head to Tsuruga, in Fukui Prefecture. The beaches there look really lovely, and they are on the Nihon Kai (Japan Sea) side of the country, where we haven't been in years.
We've got a reservation at one of our favourite chain hotels for Friday night. We'll meet there, with me arriving later due to a farewell party I'll have with my classmates; we'll get a good night's sleep, then make our way to the Takenami beach, where we've reserved a simple minshuku for Saturday night.
Weekend should be great, and hopefully refreshing in this extreme summer heat!
