Marine Day 海の日

July 21 was “Marine Day” in Japan, a time to head to the sea and enjoy beach life. This year we had a boy’s trip to Shiraishi Island off the coast of Kasaoka.

Nick and I and 5 other guys who formerly lived in Okayama City plus Tatsuki and Satoshi. People joined us from Fukuoka, Kurashiki, Tokyo, Hiroshima and San Diego, California.

We stayed at a place right on the beach this year and had a beachside bbq for dinner, watched a gorgeous sunset, enjoyed a mini local beer fest, and played cards until all hours of the night.

The next morning, we did SUP (stand up paddle boarding), but it was hard and we fell into the ocean a lot. Satoshi probably did the best out of all of us.

After coming back to Okayama, we had Indian curry and saw the new Superman movie at the mall.
