Last night we went to Atami which is about a half hour train ride from here because they have a wonderful thirty minute fireworks display at the beach. We walked around and ate from the food booths that they had and finally found some stairs to camp out on for a few hours waiting for the fireworks. It was worth the wait because they were truly amazing and we saw some that we had never seen before including some that exploded and then had lanterns floating down with a string of fireworks glowing beneath them. Afterwards, we had the unfortunate task of climbing stairs back to the train station and of course Rachel and Alex were jogging up the stairs with no problem while hundreds of us others were slowly making the trek up. I didn't mind because all of the Japanese people were complaining about the climb so I didn't feel so bad.
I'll try and post a video clip of the fireworks as soon as I can figure out how to.
Here is some sort of tsunami evacuation plan since we were near the beach.
Here are a couple of pictures of Atami. Hey, isn't that Alcatraz in the distance in the photo on the left?
Alex made a friend by the beach!
Alex is sad that the fireworks are over.
