The Sea of Japan

When we found out where we would be serving our mission, we were excited because Tsuruoka is near the Sea of Japan.  We are ocean lovers.  The sea is only about 3-5 miles away as the crow flies.  But we rarely even get a glimpse of the sea.  We feel the sea in the air and especially in the breezes in the summer that help a little to keep things bearable.  But we've only gone out to see the sea a few times.
A couple of weeks ago we decided to visit a branch member who lives in a little village on the sea.  So we took her some treats and walked down to the sea and got a few pictures.
Behind us you can see a little island.  There is a bridge over to the island.  We plan to go back and walk across the bridge and explore the little island.  I'm sure I'll be posting about it.




Hopefully there will be more sea visits in the near future!

I love the ocean, too! I'll look forward to your post about walking over to that island. What a beautiful country Japan is!
