Summer's greetings from my island

Hello everyone!
It's getting a little bit cooler day by day.
(I still want hot summer days!)

I went back to my hometown, Goto island during my summer vacation.
Everytime I visit my island, I go to Takahama beach, where is one of my favorite places.
It's really famous for water sports. (Surfing at the beach is awesome!)



I also enjoyed tasty seafood there :)
Although I couldn't stay only 5 days, I really enjoyed my vacation.

When I came back to Tokyo, I do feel that Tokyo time is soooo fast, compare to my island time. Haha!

Today, I wrote a letter to my friend. (The envelope is our series 342, stripes)
Of course, the theme is "blue ocean!"



Have a nice weekend!

Rumi, from Tokyo

Lots of hugs!

Hello everyone! It's Maki from Osaka.

My hometown, Akashi locates on the seaside and it is very famous for good seafood.
Especially, squids and octopuses are special products.

I took a photo of a dried octopus. In this season, we can see a lot of dried octopuses around fisherman's villages.



I often use our octopus card of series 700, which reminds me of my hometown.
So, I really love octopus!



Although I know they have some negative meanings in some countries, it is said that they can hugs you a lot with love!

Octopus is a lucky and lovely charm for me.

We will have a summer vacation this week. (Yes!)

Have a fabulous week!

Akashi girl, Maki ;)
