My Older Son's Eyesight

My older son's eyes are becoming bad.  He may needs glasses.  I was shocked to hear it, because my eyes are pretty bad and I know bad eyes are quite inconvenient.  I hope his eyes will become better...

Surf Trip to Kochi, Day 2
Surfing 24th Round in Japan

We woke up at 4am and left hotel at 5am.  We arrived Hirano beach at 6am.  I saw many surfers there but there were still few points that I could surf.

The wave was smaller than yesterday.  I think it was similar to summer's Newport beach.  I had a fun time but it was not satisfied my expectation enough...

 Too many surfers to enjoy surfing.


After surfing, we started homeward in the rain.  On the way, we visited some interior shops.  My wife was excited to find her favorite stuffs there.
