So I taught my last four classes of the school term today - which means that I'm just one step closer to being free for the summer! Tomorrow I have to spend a whole day sitting inside the hot, stifling teacher's room (I have no classes), and will probably spend my time planning my teaching demo lessons for August 4th and maybe studying Japanese. It will be a long (and very hot!) day... but it's my last until September!!!
We also had our last monthly City Hall meeting until September - and afterwards, I made some plans for this weekend. Friday I've been invited to a BBQ at the Fujikawa River with the other ALT's - and I might be able to convince my husband to go with me. And Saturday I've been invited by Fiona, the ALT who's returning to New Zealand in August, to see some fireworks by the river. So I've got a full weekend!
And now, it's time for a picture post. I hadn't gone out and about for so long since I was sick for most of June, but luckily I had a chance to finally go out during the last two weekends, and I snapped some nice pictures of a garden, and a cute little mountain town.
( Shizuoka outing, and the Sumpu Castle Gardens )
I was supposed to visit the onsen last weekend with my friend Miki, but she canceled and we ended up going this Saturday, three days ago.
It turned out to be a really lovely day, and the drive over to the onsen from Fuji was about
1 1/2 hours through some very pretty scenery. We went to a little town called Nambu, which is situated amongst mountains on the edge of Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures. I wasn't allowed to take pictures inside the onsen, but i took some pictures of the surrounding area. There was some very pretty yellow wildflowers which I thought looked like mini sunflowers, and a very long, very red bridge.
( Nambu-cho )
So that's about it. I haven't heard from lots of you lately, so I hope that everyone is fine, and not melting in the summer heat quite as much as I have been. Please do stop by and say hi!!!
Happy Wednesday (or Thursday depending on where you are in the world)!
