ocean blue
Mood:  chillin'
I went to Izu this weekend.
It was a fun trip, cuz the weather was very beautiful which is unusual to us.

On Saturday, we went to koibito-misaki but it was
too hot to walk a long way to the cape...
I sweated real a lot.
The inn I stayed was a small minshuku.
At night, I enjoyed tasty meal, nice hot spring, and walking along the quiet&beautiful beach.
On Sunday, we left the inn and visited Hagachi-zaki, where lots of monkeys live.
As I don't like monkeys much, I enjoyed seeing the spectacular view and very beautiful transparent sea. The ocean around Izu is really beautiful. The color of the sea is blue and you can see the bottom easily. There were lots of tiny blue fish down there.
After that, I went to Irozaki where I've wanted to go. The lighthouse I was expecting to be gorgeous was kind of a humble one. But it was a nice lighthouse. The view from the cape was really stunning.
After that we headed to Shimoda city. After having lunch, we went up to the mountain by cable car. The top of it gave us such gorgeous views of the city and the ocean. Shimoda city is famous for Perry who came from America by black ship. I could sense that it was a very nice city.
As we got tired, we headed back home. On the way we stopped by at Shuzenji and enjoyed a nice hot spring of Yugawara to get rid of the fatigue.

Today I had lunch with my old friend whom I used to teach English as a part-time job. She is always funny and outgoing. I enjoyed talking (mostly listening) with her over Italian and latte at Starbacks.
Ahh, we gotta start working real hard this week!
I've got lots of stuff to do and decide...
