This
weekend saw us taking a trip down to visit Emmie and Russ
(right, NOT above) in Shimoda. On the way there we saw
many unusual characters, such as harry the Orange Gorilla.

Russ
and Emmie, outside Russ's English school,
Blossom English Centre.

A
stroll along the shoreline: Michael, Russ, Emmie,
John John and Kae.
|
A
spot of beachcombing resulted in a mystifying find: A
big leather thing that was far too heavy for 3 people
to lift. Perhaps it was a leather-bomb...

|
Harry
the crab made a special effort to crawl out of his rockpool
to see me.
|
Another
first for me: Sea Slugs. They are pretty grotesque, and
squirt purple ink when threatened as shown here. The one
on the left is about 15 - 20cm long.

Seaweed
drying is tiring work, as can be seen here (note the chap
sleeping on the left)
|
Salt
and vinegar with the fish guv?

lovely big Stag-Beetle-to-be, one of the three that
Russ and Emmie are rearing.
