A lovely lunch with some lovely friends

Today, Miho san took Me, Chris and Misako to a Spanish restaurant. It was inside a persons house by the lake, but it looked like a restaurant inside. Although I am not big on seafood, the food was fantastic. It was my first experience of Spanish food and I really enjoyed the different flavors. It was good to spend time with some great people and have a good chat whilst enjoying the view of the lake. Thank you very much to the beautiful Miho san for a wonderful lunch.

A lovely trip to Kumamoto

Last Saturday, Mana and her family took me to Kumamoto for a day trip.
We first went to Mt. Aso, which is one of the biggest volcanoes in the world. It was very beautiful and the weather was perfect. We then ate lunch at Aso. Chris made our lunch for the day which was Jamaican chicken and Pakistani rice. It was very delicious.
Next, we went to Kumamoto castle. The castle was built in the 1600s and is one of the top 3 castles in Japan. There were lots of old objects in the castle such as guns from the world war and samurai armor from　1700s. It was amazing.
on the way home, Mana and I talked
about Kumamoto
and how much fun we had.
Thank you very much to Yoshiyuki, Mitsuko and Mana for taking me on such a wonderful trip and Chris for the wonderful lunch!

Bicycle training- week 2

Last Saturday, I did a 46km bike ride from keya.

Chris and Andy went on their motorbikes and I went on my bicycle.
We started from Keya and rode towards Karatsu. We stopped half way for a break and a drink. Andy took these pictures of me and chris posing by the bicycle. Chris and Andy continued to Karatsu and I rode back to Kafuri. The weather was very nice and the traffic wasn't too bad. It was a great day for riding and spending time with some friends. I will be entering a half triathlon in October. I hope I am ready!!
