Our plans changed for my birthday weekend, because we got invited to go fishing! Activities on my birthday weekend were many and varied.
Friday evening started out at OXO British pub for a happy hour drink. Gin and tonic!
Went to dinner at Sukontha Thai in Kanayama . My first dining experience sitting on the floor. Had a lovely bottle of Australian Shiraz and our favorite dish (#444)!
Following dinner we went to 'Shooters' bar, where you drink for free on your birthday!
Two more gin and tonics later, I was feeling very happy!
Saturday: We slept in! Rode our bikes 2.5 km to Osu around 12n. Gary got a haircut for 2,000 yen ($26). Ate lunch at a 'diner'. Then we wandered around the little shops for the afternoon.
Sunday! Rise and shine at 0400. On the rode by 0430 to drive over 2 hours south through the very green and hilly countryside and start fishing by 0730. Brought lots of snacks, but left the sunblock on the counter!
I caught the first fish. A okii (big) red snapper.
Gary caught a 60 cm yellow tail.
Other anglers from Boeing.
Made Japanese fried rice, salad and pan fried some fillets for dinner. Oishi! (tasty)
Glad you had a good birthday weekend, Amy. Many happy days ahead! Lane
