On Saturday, I went with a friend to Izu, about 3 and a half hours away from Tokyo (by train and bus) for some much needed R&R.
 |
| こういう感じで～ Yup, ready for the beach |
The weather was great and I was super, super-excited about it.
Ahhh, I love the beach, but I love the ocean more.
 |
| 間違った、わかってるよ～ ^^; Yeah, I missed the "hook", I know |
Actually, I've already given a bit of a teaser to this post. A quick pic of the ocean and the aftermath of the weekend. Me vs Sun. The sun kinda won. ><;
先週末友達と伊豆 に行ったよ～
（下田の休暇村） ←おかしいこの名前っすよ？
チョーよかった！(≧▽≦)
あたしは凄くわく わくして、「海海海海！！」と言ったばかり。
海が大好きよ。 ヾ(＠°▽°＠)ﾉ
ちょっともう書いたね、海の写真を載せたね。
そして「私ＶＳ昼の丸バトル」の結果。 ＾＾；
やっぱあたしの負けだ。orz
The trip there was a pretty refreshing experience. The further we got away from Tokyo the greener it got and the fresher the air seemed.
I love the city, but it felt so good to get away.

Upon arrival we dumped our stuff at the minshuku (inn, or "private home providing lodging for travellers") and I literally ran to the beach. It was fantastic. The summer season hadn't started yet, so there was almost no one around.
民宿に着いたか ら、すぐ着替えて、走れた。
うん、走れた。ε=ε=ε=ヾ(＠°▽°＠)ﾉ
The water was a bit cool, but by Swedish standards it was well above the minimum "it's okay to swim without dying of hypothermia" level. (In case your wondering, the cutoff temperature is exactly 19C. Yeah, I know.)
Anyway, we walked along the beach, did some sand exfoliation (seriously, Brazilian girls do it all the time!) and just hung out until it was soon time for dinner.
気持ちいい！しか もきれいね！o(゜
数日前に雨が降っ たので普通にきれいじゃなかったけど、
しかも！！人が少 ないし、海は暖かいし！
。。。ああ、そう だ。それはスウェーデンのスタンダードで「
スウェーデンで は、「夏の海で遊ぶの完璧な温度」
ふふふ、寒い？( ´艸｀)
全然！
As we were staying at a minshuku, dinner was served promptly at 6pm to our room, so it was pretty important that we get there in time to rinse off salt and sand beforehand.
This is the epic meal that awaited us:
ちなみに、これはその日の夕食：
 |
| Pretty epic. ものすごいじゃん！ |
 |
| Noms. Sashimi. さしみ美味しかった！！ |
 |
| More noms (squid) イカ！ |
 |
| Chewy noms. これは初めて！ |
 |
| やっぱ油が好きな～ ＾＾； Gotta love tempura |
We began to make our way back to get our stuff and then go, but we were held up.
By what, you ask?
海に泳いで、砂の エクスフォリエションをして（可笑しくない！
そのままで民宿に 帰って、夕食を食べて、
