Happy Happy

Happy Father's day...yesterday. Hope you all had a good one. I know we did. Had a family intensive weekend again this weekend...saturday night was the old boys barbeque...heckuva good time. Sunday evening was dinner with K and her mom and dad, very pleasant, and her dad seemed to really enjoy having us there...as he does every time we go out there.
Seeing as how my evenings were a family affair, I decided to take a short junket out to the end of the train line to see just what the heck is out there. So, on saturday morning I packed up the bike and hopped the train to Kashikojima, a little town on the Ago Bay which boasts not much other than a couple of golf courses and luxury hotels. I got out and headed around the Pacific arm of the bay to a little(er) town called Gosa which is basically a semi-deserted fishing wharf and a very lovely beach.

I kinda panicked when I got to the wharf where I intended to catch a ferry back to Kashikojima ...it looked completely out of business. I stuck my head into a small restaurant (which also looked out of business) and found out that the boat was indeed coming and the restaurant was indeed still serving lunch, so I had lunch and waited around for the boat.

The boat came, the pilot checked to make sure I was actually a customer (seemed suprised) ...and directed me to the rooftop seats where I enjoyed a beautiful view of the bay on the trip back. The bay was lovely, riddled with little coves and islands...a regular pirate paradise.

So the weekend was good...today was ok, and tomorrow's gonna suck. Super busy at the least organized elementary school on my beat. Yay.

Making a trip back to the states in August though. If you are actually cool, you might just catch a glimpse...
