Saturday morning Kuniko had to go off to work, so I did a few chores around the house on the and then packed up some gear and headed out. I stopped in at the Subway restaurant in Saty for a turkey breast sandwich to go, and then left the shopping center on foot heading south.<\/p>\n
The destination was the shrine built in the last two years on the side of a hill overlooking the inland sea. It is pretty far away from the main thoroughfare, and really only visible from the ocean or the beach. I stumbled upon it a while back and have gone back several times because it is quiet and it has a great view of the sea. There is a wooden structure that shelters a bench and a table, and it makes for a good place to listen to the water down below, take in the ocean view, and relax in the shade.<\/p>\n
I ate my lunch there, did some reading, and generally lounged around for a couple of hours. A security patrol guy walked through quickly, and stopped by to chat with me in English. The name of the security company was Kokusai Patrol – kokusai means “international”, so they really lived up to the name.<\/p>\n
The shrine is my favorite place to get away from it all – I think I’ll go there a little more often once the weather cools down a bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
