Cramming as much as physically possible into this last week in Tokyo! My days are starting to run together a bit though... Saturday was my last day for English lessons, then fireworks in the evening. Sunday was all day fun in the sun cruising around Tokyo Bay. Monday morning I was picked up at the dorm by Baba Sensei (friend of my mom's/Brendan's old teacher) and we drove about an hour away to a little beach in Kawasaki. There wasn't enough time to swim but we had at least an hour to enjoy the beautiful weather and ocean.
Driving in Japan really helps you realize just how small this country is! If you drive an hour away from Marietta, Ga... most likely you're still going to be in Georgia. If you drive an hour away from Tokyo.. you're in a completely different place!
The weather was so nice and the breeze made it so nice. The weather in Tokyo has been super hot and humid these past few days, so it was nice to get a break from it. The average temp in Tokyo is about 35C right about now while at the beach it was about 27C.
Baba Sensei's little girl, Megumi, and her friend, Yui, were also along to enjoy the beach! It was still early when we arrived/left so we were able to avoid any crowds.

We had a quick bite to eat before heading back into Tokyo to drop me off.. It was too short of a visit but it was nice to get a chance to see them one last time before I head back to the States.
