This weekend was a pretty active one. I was on my own on Saturday, so I spent most of the day doing odds and ends and some problem solving around the house. In the evening I went over to Anaba, a cool little drinking hole that I only visit about once a year. The husband and wife owners are very friendly, and the average age of the customers is probably around 60 years old. Still, it is good practice for my Japanese skills, and it is fun to try things that I normally don’t eat or drink.
Sunday we got up surprisingly early, and decided to take a long walk to Akashi. We ended up doing the walk in about three hours, and then we did some shopping for dinner and went home. After a couple of bottles (!) of sparkling wine we decided to forgo a nap and do some more walking, so we walked all the way up the hill to Nafco and Izumiya, about two hours round trip.
We had a nice dinner of turkey with grilled veggies, and then watched a movie before bed. It was a pretty good day off.
Believe it or not, Kuniko is going hiking with her students today on a special field trip, so hopefully her legs aren’t too sore to climb a mountain. My legs are feeling a little ache from yesterday, and all I’m doing is sitting in an office chair.
The plan tonight after work is to make a Costco run. We’re having a party next Saturday, and there are some essential party items that we’d like to pick up. I guess the good news is that I won’t have to walk home from work – Kuniko will swing by to pick me at five pm. I’ll take the day to rest my legs…
