Back to Kamakura! -- by Izzy

Back to Kamakura!! By Izzy August 12 & 13

Saturday, August 12

Today we took the train back to Kamakura! After the train ride, we walked to the Kamakura house and relaxed for a little while. We saw the monorail tracks.  Last time we were here and when we came back they said we could ride on it! All four kids and the moms went on the monorail and we didn't go all the way to the top. There were some active spiders on the car so Cia and I didn't want to ride it down. We walked down the mountain and relaxed for a little while. I also took a bath in the big soaking tub. I love the big tub and it even has jets! It always feels so good at the end of the day!

Today in the morning we walked to the Daibutsu which is the giant Buddha. The other kids and Mom went with us inside the Buddha. The inside was pretty small. After that we walked around the neighborhood and we ate lunch at the Tokyu store. We walked back to the house and got ready to go to the beach! We were lying on the sea floor (in shallow water) and we had to go over the tiny waves. We saw my mom's friend Hiroko, her husband Nobu, and daughter Hana. We had cold noodles and tempura for dinner (delicious!!) and did the fireworks that Reiko-san and Kayoko-san gave us.
