Lake Biwa

Today, about 7 of us went to Lake Biwa. It was about 45 minutes away by JR. If you search lake biwa japan on google maps you will see that the lake is enormous. The water was freezing but it was nice to relax in the sun for a while and dive in once. It was all locals there and some of them were really nice. We tried to find the place a stop or so away from where we got off that there is a tori gate in the water. It ended up being between the stops and too far to walk back to. Oh well. Miajima will have one anyway. We also got to see a guy and his daughter dragging a boogie board with their little dog on it. On the way back, the girl and the dog were on the makeshift sled. haha. Enjoy these beach pictures. Once I get some with me in them from someone else's camera I will add them.
