今日は、藤沢街道の坂をひたすら下り、また上りました。
この街の探検は、まだまだ続きます。

あちらこちらで、秋の花々が、さりげなく迎えてくれます。

先日久しぶりにアロハタワーに行ってきました。しかし、その変わり果てた姿に、少しがっかりしてしまいました。ほとんどのお店は閉まり、全く活気がありませんでした。
私が初めてアロハタワーに行ったのは、スター・オブ・ホノルルのディナークルーズに参加したときでしたが、そのときは観光客も多かったので、なんだか残念です。
しかし、今後空き店舗は、大学寮になるそうなので、学生さんで賑わい、また活気を取り戻してほしいと思います。:)

One of the 1st and worst time I had ever gotten ridiculously drunk was when I was around 19 or 20 years old. It was a horrible experience, but it’s always a funny story I like to tell. At that time I was invited to a party with a bunch of military guys. And they were playing a drinking game. The Push-up game. The way it worked was someone called out a number. And the last person to reach that number by doing push-ups had to take a shot. Even though These guys are paid to do push-ups on a regular basis I thought I could compete. Big mistake.They were impressed i could keep up with them, but I lost every single time. By the end of the night I was hugging the toilet swearing I’d never drink like that again. And when I woke up the next day my arms and chest were really sore.

本日の桜島はご機嫌ななめの様子！

ほんじつ の さくらじま は ごきげん ななめ！

There is a place near us where I take Aleria often. It’s a farm that has a petting zoo with chickens, goats, sheep, rabbits. They have larger animals too like a horse, miniature donkey, and a pony. The animal part of the farm isn’t too big, but Aleria likes it. She could pass the time feeding the goats all day if I let her. We usually walk around with the animals for a while then head to the other parts of the farm where they don’t have animals.

The non-animal part of the farm has slides, little houses in which kids play, and places for a picnic. The whole farm is themed around nursery tales so there are figures posted throughout the place that follow different nursery stories like Goldilocks and the Three Bears or Little Red Riding Hood.

We have been at the farm a few times and had rode the hay ride and done other things but had never gone through the maze. We tried it our last visit there. It’s a pretty big maze. I remember it felt nice to walk under the shade of the trees because it was very hot out that day. It’s a great place for little kids up to about six or seven years old. I think older kids wouldn’t enjoy it as much because as you get older you start loosing some of the imagination that makes the place a pleasure for the little ones.

今日は雲ひとつなく、富士山は実におだやかでした。
大仏様が鎮座しているようですね。

急な坂道をくねくねと下っていくと、白旗神社に着きました。

日が照っても、急に雨が降ってもよいように、
また、坂道では杖になるように、
私は散歩の時、この傘を愛用しています。
