Hi, my name is Igarashi. I’ve started A.P.F.S. volunteering since May. In Sep.21st and 22nd, A.P.F.S staff, some volunteers, A.P.F.S members and their families were participated in a bus tour held once a year. We went to KUMOMI hot springs in western-Izu where a beautiful blue sea spread out as far as the eyes could see. I expected that everyone was looking forward to going there as hot humid weather continues in Tokyo.
As for schedule,
First day, we headed for western-Izu really early morning, having a lunch together in a tour bus. Arriving in Izu, we went to Hakachizaki Garden to see Japanese Macaque Monkeys. We had a great time hanging out with monkey and taking pictures there. After we were heading back for “Chouemon”, the place we stayed, we had a party at night, drinking and eating a variety of great sea food.
Second day, having a breakfast, we went to a beach a couple minutes away from Choemon. We had so many exciting events such as a piñata-like game with a watermelon, beach volleyball, and beach flag. After that, we went to have a Seafood bowl famous as most delicious one in western-Izu.
In the past two days, we spent such a great time without any accidents. I’m really glad that exchange between A.P.F.S members and volunteers have become very active recently.
I hope that A.P.F.S will unite more strongly as having many exciting events and getting along each other.
