Turning Left in Okoppe


Today we went exploring a bit. It is a national holiday, "Physical Fitness Day", for what it's worth. Aaron was very excited that we decided to turn left in Okoppe, instead of doing what we always do, which take a right to go to Monbetsu. So, we cruised along the coast for a ways until we found a nice spot to have our picnic lunch of, of course, onigiri. This lovely playground was awesome and provided a great deal of enjoyment for all of us. We walked across the road and explored along the beach, collecting shells and rocks. Finally, we toured the tourist shop that is shaped like a giant boat. Inside we found loads of trinkets and gift boxes of sweets or seafood.

I have a few photos, and several streaming videos. All the videos are short, no more than 10 seconds at the most. As you can see, we really enjoyed the zip line and slide made of rollers! Ridge and Holt are so brave!
