★Trip to Amakusa①★

I went to Amakusa with my friends Erika, Misa, Haruko and Chisato. Haruko picked up me at near my house. We rode on Haruko’s car to Amakusa. Erika has lived in Tokyo since she graduated from high school so I saw her after a long separation. We enjoyed talking about we have been getting along in the car. We got caught in a traffic jam because of the Bon Festival season. Our car crawled through the jammed traffic. We stopped at a restaurant on our way to Amakusa. We ate Chinese food and took a rest. After an hour, we started from the restaurant to Amakusa. We arrived at Nishimoku beach at 4:00 p.m. We changed to swimwear quickly and went to the beach. There was hardly anyone left at the beach. We enjoyed swimming in the beach. After a while, I was in a small accident. A jerry fish stung my left thigh. I ached my thigh so I came out of the beach. After that, log house’s owner took us out for fishing. We rode on his cruiser and he taught us how to fish. We could fish some small fish. Also we could see sunset from the cruiser. The scene was very, very beautiful. I was moved it. After we enjoyed fishing, we returned to log house and we had a barbecue in the yard. We ate many meats and seafoods. Everyone had eaten sufficiently. After that, we had a surprise party for Misa because her twentieth birthday was near. We bought birthday cake and present secretly. When we gave her the birthday cake and present, she was pleased with theirs. We bought pierced earrings as her birthday present. Also we made an album. In the album, there were a lot of pictures when we were high school students and letters we wrote. After we ate birthday cake, we shot off fireworks on the beach. I like sparkling firework very much because it is beautiful. After that, we returned to log house. In the log house, we enjoyed talking until midnight. Also we enjoyed taking pictures. I slept without notice. This trip was continued on tomorrow…
