Extra Edition: Dogs, Motorcycles, and Wind Therapy No. 5

Today, I felt like going to the sea again, so I wagged my tail as hard as I could to show my excitement.
However, I didn't go by motorcycle today; I went by car.

The big difference between a car and a motorcycle is that you only receive wind therapy directly once you get out. (We don't have a convertible.)


Where exactly is the boundary between the cold air and the warm air?


How close do you have to get before the scent of the sea drifts toward you?
When it starts to rain, when does the first scent of the earth rise up? It's quite hard to tell when you're in a car.
I think that is the biggest difference between a motorcycle and a car.

Of course, I also love riding in a car that can zip through the rain and wind.
It's also nice to be able to get in and out so easily.

Since it's a bit far, we sped along the highway.

After driving along a narrow road for a while, we finally arrived at the parking lot for Cafe 923.

This place is also surrounded by trees, so it's a bit hard to see from the outside.

I've been here a few times, and when you sit on the terrace at this time of year, you can hear the bush warblers singing.
And they are quite skilled singers, too.


I take a break while listening to the love songs performed by the bush warblers.

I wonder who they are singing for.
I hope their feelings reach them.



And what I love most is that you can hear the sound of the waves when you're on the terrace.


"We'll go for a walk by the sea later."
They said that to me as they ordered coffee and pizza.

After a while, the coffee and a fragrant Quattro Formaggi were brought to us.

I eat it with as much honey as I like, choosing from autumn wildflowers, acacia, wild rose, Japanese pepper tree, or cinnamon.


The scent of cheese and honey is one I love, too.


The owner here is a beekeeper, which is how such a luxurious menu is possible.



923 is named after "Kuni-san," the nickname of the owner's late father, a photographer named Mr. Kunifusa.
It seems this place used to be Kuni-san's atelier.

I can only see them from outside the window, but photos taken by Kuni-san are displayed inside the shop.

After resting here and having a snack, we head to the nearby sea, checking all the scents as we walk.

Perhaps because it's a beach where people aren't allowed to swim, it's always quiet whenever I come, and I can always take my time as much as I like.


It's always nice to come to the sea.
I can't swim, but I love looking at the ocean.

Even if I'm worried about something, when I look at the vast sea, I realize that my own tiny worries are nothing at all.

If I just let myself be blown by the waves and the wind, I feel like everything will surely work out.

I spent a while gazing at the sea, thinking about a friend who is far away.
I wonder what they are doing right now.
I hope I can see them again.

When the time comes, I'm sure we'll meet again.

After returning from the sea and getting into the car, a pheasant came for a walk in the parking lot.

I felt a little happy that I could hear the beautiful song of a bush warbler and also see the pheasant walking.

Above all, I was able to receive the finest wind therapy, and I went home in a great mood.


Today was satisfying, very satisfying.
