Road Trip! - Saturday the 28th

Saturday we had a leisurely morning of sleeping in & a yummy breakfast of muesli (a family recipe of Jonathan's). We hopped into the car & headed north across Japan to to the seaside. We stayed at the Seikiro Inn; a traditional Japanese inn with the tatami floors. We were served tea & a snack upon our arrival (the picture of J&K). We walked around a little to get the lay of the land & then changed into our Yukata (summer Kimono). We were given tabi (the socks with the split between big toe & the other toes) to wear around. Our shoes were left at the front door of the inn. The socks definitely gave me a "ninja" feeling coupled with the Yukata, all I was missing was my sword & stars... Fortunately, there were no bad guys to be found & we were just there to relax & take in the experience. The picture of the inn is from the garden that we found when we were checking things out.
