what's for dinner

Yumi's friend who owns a bicycle shop, procured a way cool Japanese 5 speed, belt driven bicycle for me to pedal during my visit.

Built in lock, headlight, front rack, stylin baby.

Shakedown cruise to the beach, grocery store run, most delightful. Gaggle of independent small stores for shopping. Course, you basically guess at what "really inside" inside the packages.

Shizuoka is interesting, city congestion but with an ocean view/harbor. Busy and more busy, sheer number of people out on two wheels is amazing. Old people, kids, whoever/whatever.

Dynamite lunch at this eatery today. Cuisine has been phenomenal. Hard to describe authentic Japanese cooking. Very fresh ingredients, a courier service delivers these Styrofoam coolers with a complete meal "in the raw" start to finish package deal. Brilliant concept on the age old ? of what's for dinner ?

























Note the smoking frog figurine. Strange collection of figurines, I hope to get back and snap some pics.
