We've begun to settle into a routine. Our alarm goes off at 10:00 am (I can make it to 9:00 am at this point) and Drew starts work around 2:00 pm. That gives us plenty of time to hang out or even run a quick errand. Yesterday we went to a park nearby to try out the Frisbee I smuggled into Japan in my suitcase. It had been awhile since I'd had time to play on a weekday. It was great! There are also tennis courts and a rock climbing gym in town that we plan to check out soon.
Today I went for a bike ride to one of the larger parks. Check out this monster playground! I'm telling you, Japan has the best playgrounds I've ever seen. It must have to do with the fact that suing isn't popular, because there is no way the U.S. could get away with some of the crazy, dangerous set ups we've come across. Do you think I'd get in trouble if I tried it out? That slide is so tempting!
Drew has an hour dinner break on three out of the five days he has class, which works out perfectly because we live right above the school and Drew is able to pop up for a meal. His work day ends around 9:30 pm or 10:00 pm. Then it is off for a night walk/bike ride before we turn in.
At this point, we've decided to reserve the weekends for hiking trips, train travel, eating out, and any late night junk food consumption that we so desire. Meaning, all the good stuff won't happen until then.
