Nagahama

Yesterday we took a drive to Nagahama, a town on Lake Biwa, about an hour's drive from here. 

The point of the drive was, in fact, the drive. It's a lovely route, passing Sekigahara and Mount Ibuki, both of which we have been to.

We had lunch in a Coco Curry place.

We went to the shore of Biwako, so I could say I had seen the lake and the water.

We walked along an old style shopping street

Tatsuki had an ice cream

We came home via a country bakery

and went to Big Boys for dinner

Mixed grill with mashed potato for me

I think Austin did extra time on the treadmill at the gym this morning. I am just resigned to my clothes having shrunk a bit. I shall have to restrict myself to salads when I get home. Although, I have been eating salad quite a bit while I've been here
