Walking around Kamakura today we encountered numerous groups of school children. We had two groups stop to ask us if they could ask us questions. In excellent English, they told us their names. Dina and I told them our names. We exchanged nice to meet you! The students then asked where we were from. They recorded our answers. The final question was to have a picture taken together. Of course!
We continued our journey around Kamakura. I had Genjiyama Park and Kewaizaka Cutting Road on my list of things to see in Kamakura. Turns out, we have already been to both places! Haha
A couple pictures of the park – where you can see Mt. Fuji on a clear day!
And the Kewaizaka Cutting Road with numerous school kids.
The highlight and something new was the statue of Minamoto Yoritomo. Minamoto Yoritomo was the founder and the first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate of Japan. He ruled from 1192 until 1199.
Lastly, have I mentioned the humidity lately? Today was off the charts muggy. It was fun to think of ways to describe the humidity. Here are a few Dave and I came up with running this morning.
1. Sweaty Spaghetti

3. Muggy McMug Face
4. Sweaty McSweat Face

If you’re thinking about a summer visit, prepare for humidity like no where else. It’s only May 25th and I needed three showers today!
