Every year, our friends in Japan get together and go for a camping trip. We load up a van, squeeze in, spend 3 hours driving to the Izu Peninsula and set up camp on a beautiful beach. Swimming, snorkeling, relaxing and enjoying some food, wine and beer makes for a perfect celebration at the end of a long hot summer. Plus it feels great to get out of the city and into what seems like another world compared to our Tokyo life.
After a few hours in the sun, we enjoyed some pork and chicken skewers, chicken drummies, and grilled vegetables for dinner, cooked by our friends Triston and Justyna.
Simple, fun, and exactly what I needed to remember one of the many reasons why life in Japan can be so wonderful.
