葉山のブルームーン・Blue Moon Hayama
すみません。あとでこれを日本語で書くつもりです。
I have finally made it to the beach. Actually, it is my third time this summer, but the first time I went back to Hayama. It was so nice, I wish I could go everyday!
The benefits of not working are starting to appear. I finished school at 1230pm, went home, grabbed a bag and hopped on the train. Well, actually I sat around my apartment for thirty minutes in a mindless stupor too, but never mind that. I was on the beach at 330pm!
I went to Hayama Isshiki Beach. The weather was perfect. Sunny, beautiful blue skies and a gentle breeze blowing in from the ocean. The only surprise is how empty the beach was. I have never been on a weekday so I did not know what to expect. Unbelieveable.
I spent a few hours swimming and reading my book. After that I walked down the beach and saw this wedding party. I wanted to take more pictures but my camera appears to be dying. More on that some other time.
After that, it was up to the Blue Moon for a few drinks and dinner before heading back. Again, it was not very crowded despite it being a BAR on the BEACH on FRIDAY night. Not that I am complaining. It seemed to be a lot of locals as people would stop by for a drink and walk off again. And the man at the bar seemed surprised when I said I lived in Tokyo. I told him I was not working anymore and he said I should come down more often. I could not agree more.
The sunset was nice. Later, there was a half moon over the water and you could see the reflections off the breaking waves and the calm water of Sagami Bay behind it was glorious. I wish I could have taken a better picture.
Anyway, I dragged myself away at 8pm and was home by 10pm. Much better than sitting around at home all day. Hayama is so lovely.
