Tanesashi Beach

On Labor Day we took a drive to Hachinohe. 
It was our last day trip with the Gerhauser's and it was good one to end on! 
Their kids and ours were becoming fast friends. They had tons of fun climbing over all the rocks and trying to avoid Mom's watchful eye when the waves rolled in so they could get wet.

Such a beautiful spot, I'm sure we will be returning often.


















I happened upon this sign when we were washing the sand of our feet.  I sure the 2011 tsunami was terrifying, I can't imagine what it was like to live through it.



This sign says it all, I guess?  We really wish we could read it.


Japanese style toilet.
The lessons from the cultural tour came in handy over the weekend.
My favorite is the Japanese version of the western style toilet.  Heated seats, sounds effects, fragrance, etc. It is quite the experience;)

Apparently it lets you point your phone at the text and translates it for you.
