We are still alive and kicking. We are now in Kamakura, Yumi's hometown, for our summer vacation. We are staying with Yumi's parents and having a blast. Granma and Granpa are taking great care of the kids. They don't want to go back....
Kamakura is a beach town about 1 hour by train from Tokyo. It reminds me so much of Hawaii, having grown up there myself. Yumi's house is about 30 meters from the beach. The trade wind keeps the evenings cool and there is picturesque running track along the ocean. This is indeed home for us. More on that later.
The kids are in heaven in Tokyo's toy store.
The most famous attraction in Kamakura - The Great Buddha Statue.
Desmond and Lani joined in the local summer fun program.
Taking our morning walk, the kids taking care of each other.
Mixing the old and the new - I say Kamakura is better than Hawaii!
We didn't plan on swimming, but then the house is only 30 meters away.
