I&#8217;ve just never had the opportunity because I work when everyone else is going on the weekends, and I never want to cancel training to have a beach day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/ZFC-beach-group1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/ZFC-beach-group1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"ZFC beach group1\" width=\"518\" height=\"387\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-858\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was invited by the ZFC guys, where I&#8217;ve been training on Saturdays.  It was so nice of them to include me!   I met Ogi-san at the station, where we walked 15 minutes to Yuigahama.

I have my Tussle white T shirt over my bathing suit on so it reflects the  light. I&#8217;m so scared of sunsburn. (actually, I was just shy)<br \/>\nOur lunch was Taco Rice (taco-flavored rice with a little lettuce surrounding it&#8230;no actual tacos.) and Shirasu (tiny fish) pizza.

Turns out you have to make a bus reservation a month in advance, so we&#8217;re gonna take the train.<\/p>\n<p>This is my last summer fling.
