Guinness plays in clear water in Samegai. ギネス醒ヶ井の清水で水遊び

On our way to our parents' place in Gifu, We took Guinness to Samegai in Shiga Prefecture. Samegai is know as a post town of the Nakasendo in Edo era.
There is a beautiful stream of spring water called Jizo-river. Guinness enjoyed playing in the fresh and clear water in the scorching hot weather. Nice way to spend time in dog days of summer.

岐阜の実家に帰る途中、ギネスを滋賀県の醒ヶ井というところに連れて行きました。醒ヶ井は江戸時代、中山道の宿場町として知られた場所です。
そこには地蔵川という湧水の小川があり、ギネスは焼けつくような暑さの中、水遊びを楽しみました。いい夏の日の過ごし方ですね。

Sword Fish カジキ


We went to Nishinomiya yacht harbor today. There we found a fishing tournament going on. Boats were coming back to the yacht harbor with sword fish. They were weighing fish and taking fish prints. The biggest one weighed one hundred sixty kilos!!  They were using a crane to lift and move the fish. After that they cut up the sword fish and handed out slices of the fish to everybody. We lined up and got three portions. One portion is big enough for three of us and Guinness. We had it for our dinner today and Guinness tasted it too. It was quite good!

今日は西宮ヨットハーバーに行ってきました。そこではカジキ釣りのトーナメントをやっていて、船がカジキを積んでヨットハーバーに入ってきていました。クレーンを使って計量したり移動させたりして、魚拓を取った後、その場でさばいて観客に切り身を配ってくれました。一番大きいのはなんと160キロもありました。私たちも並んで3人分もらいましたが、一人分でも家族3人とギネスに十分な量でした。ステーキにしましたが、なかなかおいしかったです。ギネスも一切れ味わいました。

Guinness in Awajishima ギネス淡路島へ行く

We went to Awajishima today. It was cloudy, wasn't too hot. We took Guinness to the beach because we thought he like to swim. He was exited, as usual, but did not swim much.
淡路島に行きました。曇っていてあまり暑くなかったです。ギネスが泳ぐのが好きかと思い、ビーチに連れて行きましたが、意外にあまりお泳ぎませんでした。

Guinness look bit dirty when he is wet.
ギネスは濡れているとちょっと汚く見えます。

Had lunch at Cappuccino Cafe.

After lunch we went to Wellness Park.
昼食後ウェルネスパーク五色高田屋嘉平公園へ

Nishinomiya hama park

We went to Nishinomiya Yacht harbor.
西宮のヨットハーバーに行きました。

On our way back, we took Guinness to a Starbucks cafe for the first time. He was comparatively quiet.
帰りにギネスをつれて初めてスターバックスに行きました。ギネスは比較的静かでした。

Guinness seems to be tired after having been outside for half a day.
半日外にいたので疲れたようです。
