Pacific, Atlantic, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, Indian Ocean, Baltic Sea, and now we can add Sea of Japan! One of my life quests is to swim in as many world oceans or seas as possible . . . or at least put a toe in. It was a hot, hot Monday when we decided to add the Sea of Japan to the list. It was a very hot walk over hot sand to get there. So the cool water was refreshing and wonderful. We floated in the chest high water for a couple of hours. It was so relaxing and just what we needed! We loved it!

| The beach was crowded. This was taken before we got in in the morning, but by the time we left, there was little space between camps. |
 |
| Many people had these little cookers and were frying meats and other foods. It smelled delicious, but we wondered how they could cook over those hot, little stoves when it was so hot outside. They didn't seem to mind. |

| It doesn't look very far in this picture, but it was quite a distance out to those rocks. We swam out there a couple of times. |
 |
| This was our beautiful view from the water: the colorful umbrellas and people against that beautiful mountain backdrop with the beautiful water in front. I couldn't get enough of it. |
We did it! We swam in the Sea of Japan. We hope to do it again before the summer is over! (and yes, it is okay for senior missionaries to swim.)

Wahoo! Sounds so refreshing. With your crazy schedule lately you totally earned this. 😉
Looks so fun and beautiful!
I think your idea of swimming in many oceans is cool and appropriate for you, a good swimmer who loves to swim. I'll bet that water felt good!
