This is our first visit to the ocean, it was cloudy and windy and kinda cold, but I didn’t care, it was Friday and I wanted to see the ocean, so we drove the 5 kilometers that we live from the ocean and stared driving up the coast… I had heard of a beach a little to the north and I was determined to find it! We did find it, without any problems. It is called Miss Veedol Beach (named after the plane that flew from Misawa to Washington: the first transpacific flight) anyway there was a replica of the plane and a tower…
This is our new car looking down from the tower… It is a Subaru Imprezza… it is a good car and I think it will serve us well here in Misawa (everybody says they do great in the snow)
Me and Kona messing around on the beach… the water was freezing and the sand was cold to but even that could not stop me from dipping my toes in!
It was so much fun and super romantic!
This was the little outhouse/bathroom near the beach… it was a much nicer hole in the ground then any American holes in the ground I have been to…. We had so much fun that we decided to go back the next day, which turned out to be sunshiny and gorgeous!!! I went from wearing a coat to wearing my swimming suit, the water was still cold but the sand was nice and hot! We met our friends there and had a good time playing with Kona and throwing the football!
Kona loved the ocean, she got in pretty deep considering how strong the undertow and rip tide are, but she kept drinking the saltwater, even though I brought her a bowl of fresh water and when we got home she just stood there looking pathetic and all of the sudden she puked salt water all over the kitchen, it was really kinda funny
I was so happy that I got to wear my swimming suit!
This is the sort of makeshift pier built to slow erosion or the rip tide or something… I don’t really know
This is the view of the mountains from base, that is Mt. Hakkoda, it has great hiking in the summer and apparently phenomenal powder skiing in the winter!!! YES we are THAT close!!!! So excited!
