We slept in till 7am and then up and watched some more Olympics before I got to work on, laundry, updating the last few blogs and CJ was off on his shopping trip to Yotobashi Camera.
We were happy to catch USA men's Relay team and Michael Phelps race, win and then receive his Special Award as well as the Gold Medal on the awards Platform. We assume he completed his record of 8 gold medals in this game,and how ever many medals in the last game four years ago, but my Japanese is not that good yet. We don't know for sure what they said, so if anyone can please clue us into his final standings that would be awesome? By the way what country is ahead in the medals race? We have been seeing alot of Japanese women wrestlers doing quite well and caught some swimming events today too.
It has been raining or more like misting off and on here all day. The clouds are gray and thick and we keep hearing the fog horns blow in the distant harbor. Something I have never really heard except for today. CJ said they must only blow the horns on arriving/leaving cruise or other ships when the weather is not sunny. I also hear trains along the tracks and highway traffic noise from across the lowland area.
CJ just got back from Yokohama station with his bag full of goodies. He said it felt nice to walk in the cool rain and air and there were lots of people out and about even in the inclement weather.
He is busy putting together his external speaker and new Ipod which he got free with his point card points. It is about 5 pm here now on Sunday night and so I had best end this and get some tandori chicken and rice made for dinner. CJ said he got us a Jumbo-sho for dessert. Yipee!
The breeze is getting even cooler now that night fall is near. Perhaps we can sleep with our windows open tonight for the first time ever? I wonder how noisy it will be with all the cicadas still singing away in the rain. I have been curious to know if they are similar to the may flies back in MN by Lake Mil Lacs and if their bodies will be covering the ground once their season is over? I will keep you posted.
Gotta go change over another load of laundry.
I am not sure what tomorrow will bring for me, perhaps some house cleaning and a possible bike ride ? CJ is back to work after a 5 day vacation and anxious to get more things moving along.
