the sea

Sunday was a beach day! I woke up and realised that the summer is almost already over. Time flies, eh! It really does. Originally I planned to spend ever available day at the beach this summer. But I've actually gone less than last year! So I jumped at the chance to go.

The waves were HUGE! It was unlike anything I've seen before at that particular beach. But it was a lot of fun getting thrown around like a rag doll. It kinda made me want to take up surfing.

After the beach we had a barbeque.

There are too many people to name in this picture. Some are old friends, some new. There were people playing baseball in a field next to the place and the biggest benefit of having a BBQ in Japan is the Yaki-soba. It's like chow-mein, I guess. Barbequed noodles! SooOOOoooOOOO tastey!

Afterwards we went to the beach to shoot off some fireworks. The end of rainy season is marked by intense fireworks displays all over th country.

This is Yoshimi.

Unfortunately taking pictures of fireworks always sucks...but here is a token one.

Did you take your camera in the water to take that video?

I thought the fireworks were in the sky, but then I realized that was sand.

yeah, my camera is waterproof. I didn't even bother trying to take pix of the ones in the sky. It's impossible to capture...

The city's fireworks display actually put Toronto's to shame! My god, they blew off an immense amount near the end. I was awe-struck!
