rollercoaster ride

I've been going so crazy worrying about everything I have to do before going to Japan that I often forget about how happy I'll be when I get there. Yesterday I received an email with information regarding my apartment in Japan. I decided to look up the location on Google maps to get an idea of my future neighborhood and the nearby coastline.

Hitachinaka is quite lovely. The roads are long, so I can see why I'll need a car. I may try for a bike, anyway, just so I can go riding along this gorgeous coastline.

I'm glad I'll be in Hitachinaka for springtime, to enjoy the cooler warmth before it becomes hot. I'm glad I'll have the ocean nearby.

I can't wait to get my camera out in Japan.
