Chinese New Year in Yokohama Chinatown. This year is the Year of the Ox.

Zushi

Zushi is a coastal city in the south of Kanagawa prefecture. Zushi beach is very popular for windsurfing and sailing. When the sky is clear (usually only in the winter) there is a beautiful view of Mt Fuji from the beach .
We took our scooters and spent the afternoon exploring there on a recent winter Saturday. The sunset was beautiful, alas Mt Fuji was obscured by clouds.

Christmas

It was wonderful to go home and spend time with family and friends over Christmas. It was also good to be with my special doggie boy Chester! The weather was great, as was the beach, the food and the rest and relaxation! Jervis Bay was beautiful and it was oh so hard to leave again....
