Enoshima Beach
Glenn and I decided to take a Friday afternoon drive to explore Japan and enjoy the beautiful weather we have been having despite the fact that June is rainy season. We headed south on Route 467 towards Enoshima. Stella loves to play in the sand and we thought it would be fun to enjoy the beach. We grabbed some lunch and brought it with us and had a little picnic on the beach too! Enoshima is south of Atsugi base along the Sagami bay. I've been to this area twice before with Hillary and with Laura, but Glenn has never been to this area. I'm pretty sure he sees enough ocean and beach for several lifetimes though. :)
Stella loved digging holes and smelling all the dead fish that had washed ashore.
She was afraid of the waves though! They were too big for her tiny legs.
Love you baby! Thanks for a great day!

Kelly and Laura's Adventure Days - Enoshima
On Thursday, Laura and I headed to the beach town of Enoshima. It is about an hour train ride away, very near Kamakura which I visited in February. It's not quite summer here yet so it was still pretty quiet, but a great place to have lunch and walk around.
We had lunch at an Italian restaurant, El Chianti, I think it was some of the best Italian food I've had in Japan so far. I think we'll have to go back and enjoy a bottle of wine and the ocean views.
After lunch we went to the Enoshima Aquarium. It was small, but very well done. They even had a dolphin show. We couldn't understand what they were saying, but dolphins are always fun to see. Even better, this was Laura's first ever dolphin show. She has never been to Sea World. Crazy girl. We also enjoyed the Sagami Bay exhibit which had all of the fish that live off the cost of Enoshima. They had a huge school of fish which was amazing to watch.
I think another highlight of the aquarium was the Dr. Fish exhibit. Apparently there are spas in which you can stick your feet in these pools and let the fish eat away the dead skin on your feet! Well here you could stick your hands in the shallow pools and let them do the same. It tickled too much to let them do it for too long, I don't think I could let them eat my feet!
After the aquarium we went to Enoshima island and went up and down about a million stairs. We took in the views, saw the shrine and walked some more stairs. Next time we're going to go to the caves and maybe the light house/observatory. We couldn't do anymore stairs today!
An excellent adventure day with my friend Laura!
