It was sunny and very hot here in
Shioda today.
Yes, it was almost summer!
There were a lot of people on the beach, and the professional surfing competition was taking place near Shirahama shrine, on the other hand of this beach.
And the digger and the crawler dump truck were moving a lot of sand which was brought by strong north wind during winter to the front of the sea.
They are preparing this beach for summer!
The sight looked like an another planet!!
Weeding the slope took place at
Aloe field in Shirahama today.
We have a beautiful view looking over Shirahama Beach at this place.
They are two families from the United States
of America.
One of them have lived in Kamakura and have stayed at Sakuraya in last May, and the other family came from the United States and visited Shimoda for the 1st time.
A girl had been sick since several days ago and had a slight fever.
So I took her to a pediatric hospital in Shimoda with her family.
I was relieved that she got better after that.
Thank you very much for staying with us.
See you again!!
I got a great news on TV today.
Mt. Fuji, a highest mountain in Japan at 3,776m, was listed as a world cultural heritage by the world heritage commitee of UNESCO in Cambodia.
I took my daughter to the school by my car and
took these pictures on the way home this morning.
The sky is covered with a black cloud and we have a strong wind here in Shimoda, because the typhoon is approaching to Japan.
We usually clean our kitchen before getting into the busy season.
Today I cleaned and waxed the floor to shine.
There were a lot of clouds in the sky, but it
was sunny here in Shimoda today.
I saw a lot of people swimming, walking and sleeping on the beach.
The weather forecast says the typhoon is approaching Japan.
So it was the last sunny day today, I guess.
They came from California and stayed for 3 nights.
During their stay they went to Shimoda park to see the hydrangea flower festival, walked in Shimoda town and went to Mt. Nesugata by cable car.
He is a college teacher and a steel drum player and she is a creator of Shibori things in California.
Thank you very much for staying with us.
My wife and I had a great time with you!!
We have a loquat tree in our garden and can get a lot of loquat
fruit every Juny.
We made loquat wine yesterday and these bottles will be in strage.
We will be able to meet them several years later.
I took my daughter to the school by my car,
because it's rainy this morning.
We have a little strong wind here in Shirahama, but there is no wind around Izukyu Shimoda train station.
Mt. Nesugata between Shirahama and Shimoda is protecting the town from the wind.
We have a little wind this afternoon, but it's very hot and almost summer today.
The blue sky and the green leaves are shining under the sune.
We should dry sleeping mats before rainy days.
The Japan Meteorological Agency announced that
Tokai area including Shimoda got into the rainy season on May 28th, but
now we are in the long intermission.
The weather forecast says the sun will stay in a next week and it's getting hotter and hotter over the weekend.
By the way, I took this picture on the slope on the other side of Pension Sakuraya.
The flowers of hydrangea are changing its color and getting more beautiful.
I love this stage of coloring better than full colored and full bloomed hydrangea.
We have a very strong north wind here in
Shirahama, and it's colder this morning than yesterday.
There are some wind surfers who came to this beach to get a good condition.
By the way, mY daughter has a sport day at the high school today, but she had been worrying about it due to the weather.
If it was rainy and they didn't have it they would have to study as usual even though it is Sunday today.
But I think it will take place today, because it's still cloudy now.
