Thinking of the Beach

It's been busy at the office and I have been neglecting my blog and will probably be neglecting it a little more. Don't worry, it will only be a temporary situation. The family will be heading down under for our annual escape summer down under vacation.

I've got a couple busy days office sandwiched between a busy family weekend and then we are off. I need to focus to make it through, but my thoughts keep drifting off to beach...

Powerful legs in Asakusa

We had a guest in Tokyo this past weekend and took a leisurely Sumida River Cruise from Hinode Pier to Asakusa and walked behind the Nakamise Dori to Sensoji Temple. Summer's heat wasn't in full force, but it was a pleasant afternoon to enjoy some kakigori (shaved ice).

On one of the side streets from the temple, I spotted this two-seat rickshaw. The puller taking seemed to be taking rest or perhaps he was waiting for someone.
