Kuniko and I got up way too early after staying up way too late Saturday night. We got in the car and drove to Okayama to help Kuniko’s sister move into a new place with her fiancee. It is about a 90 minute drive to her place, and we were so tired we had to stop for coffee to keep up awake behind the wheel.<\/p>\n
We got there before nine in the morning, and got right to work filling up our car and Tomoko’s car full of stuff. This time Tomoko was much more organized, and we got a lot more done really quickly. A little after nine Kuniko’s parents showed up in the truck, and so we had even more room to load up the big stuff.<\/p>\n
Just as we were finished loading up the heavy stuff Tomoko’s fiancee showed up with a big truck and his friend. Good timing, dude. From there we did a caravan to the new place, which was about 40 minutes away. The drive there was really nice – we followed a wide, beautiful river which had me wishing I could do some canoeing. <\/p>\n
As always, unloading went pretty quickly. Their new place is a little tiny bit bigger than her old place, and we actually had to wait for a little bit while they found room to put everything. Once everything was in we went inside to help organize, and then decided to go to lunch. <\/p>\n
Kuniko and I were really tired out, so we were cool with anything, but we ended up driving 30 minutes to a ramen restaurant for lunch. The ramen was pretty good, but nothing too special. I hadn’t had ramen in months (not so popular in summer) so it was nice to have it again. After lunch with a stomach full of food it was even harder to stay awake, and Kuniko and her mom dozed on the drive back. <\/p>\n
There was one more trip left for Kuniko’s folks to get some stuff from Tomoko’s old place, but Kuniko and I surrendered and had to head home due to exhaustion. Another 40 minute drive in the wrong direction, and then the drive back would just be too much, so we apologized and hit the road back. We stopped at a convenience store for more coffee, and then drove on home. <\/p>\n
Luckily, Monday is a holiday (the autumn equinox) so we can sleep in a little in the morning and recover some energy…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
