Sunny Sunday

It's hard to believe the first weekend is almost over!  I'm still having some jetlag and "travel tummy", so we didn't do anything very strenuous today.  Traci bought 2 small wooden shelf units when Phil took us to the store yesterday, but she had no screwdriver to do the assembling.  After a quick trip to Daiso  (the 100 yen store with "everything") Traci was able to put together her shelves. While she worked on that, I reclined in her new chair and watched the view of the lake.  I saw people sculling -in boats with 1, 2 or 4 people, fishing boats, boats pulling waterskiers, a sailboat; and the swan ferry.

The weather was sunny and beautiful, again, so we headed to the lake on our bikes.  Everyone and his dog was out for a walk!  There are 2 paths that circle the lake, one for runners/joggers, and the other for bicyclists and walkers.  We biked about 1/4 of the lake,  a 13-min leisurely bike ride, to the first swan boat, took pictures and biked back. 

I have been watching in vain for Mt Fuji.  Traci assures me it is there, but I think she was just dreaming about it. :P

We are tired and going to bed early.  Traci has to get up and go to work in the morning. But since tomorrow is someone's half-century birthday, we plan to go out to dinner at Cafe Gusto. :)  And then maybe some stargazing at the lake.
