It was a quick trip down to the Izu peninsula again for the New Year this year. The family managed to enjoy a few mild days away from the big city and relax in the surrounds of Ito City.
Rina commented on arriving back in Tokyo that she wanted to stay at the white house. No not the one in the US, but the one she knew down the coast. Apparently the red house where we live does not quite match up to the white one.
We also managed to venture down to the southern tip of the Izu peninsula on New Years day. A small place called Irozaki. There is an interesting little shrine hanging on to the cliff near the furtherest point that one is allowed to walk “safely“. It was good to see and walk about the place…. a thing that we can not seem to stop Emma from doing now. Once she is on her legs and moving about, she does not want anyone to interfer with her progress. All well and good for a kid who is not even one year old just yet.
The girls and the parents enjoyed the time away – though the resounding feeling as we headed back into Tokyo in the 30km long traffic jam…. if only it were a few more days.
Enjoy it while it lasts…
