Teiko in Numazu!
by mikka
Two weeks ago, my friend Teiko came to Numazu for a visit! I was so excited to show her around - our first stop was the Numazu Port (with the obligatory stop at the Byo-in typhoon gate, above) and then a long walk along my favorite place in Numazu, Senbon Beach:
One of the two rock-art Mt.Fujis had seen a little remodeling during the recent World Cup, and now includes a dragon flanked by "SAMURI BLUE!!" That's Teiko at the peak of the mountain, to give you a feel for the scale...
Above: Teiko still remembers Maggie's softball pitching lessons! Iain found an abandoned plastic baseball set on the beach which, once he picked up, he felt guilty chucking back on the shore and so carried dutifully with him for the next five hours or so, till we managed to find a trash can.
It was awesome to see Teiko and to get to show her around our home for the year. As luck would have it, she also happened to be visiting on the night of the Numazu festival, so, more photos to come ...
