A Very Quiet Weekend

This weekend has been one of those long slow weekends where you do just about nothing. Saturday we hung out at home all day because of heavy rain in the morning. After lunchtime the weather suddenly turned relatively sunny, so we got some laundry going in a rush and got it all out there hanging in the sun.

In the evening we went and saw Da Vinci Code in Okubo, but we were both a little disappointed. Come to think of it I wasn’t too impressed with the book itself – the movie suffered from compressing all that detail into a short time frame. The actors were stuck doing what their characters did in the book, and I thought most of their behavior was goofy and didn’t seem right for the situation. But what am I, a book critic and a movie critic, too?

Sunday we went out and hiked the mountain overlooking the town of Suma, in a giant loop that took just about an hour. The nice part about that hike is that it ends on the beach. We walked around a little bit, and then caught a quick lunch before heading home.

Tomorrow I have the whole day off, and Kuniko is taking a half day off to work on getting my visa and her passport taken care of. It is a little optomistic to think that we can get them both completely taken care of in one day – we’ll see how reality plays out tomorrow.
