Beach party

On the weekend, about 20 people gathered on a beach an hour outside Hamamatsu for a farewell party for jenny and Daniela who are leaving our school. We got there an hour before sunset so a few of us could go surfing first:
We then set up our tents for the night, and had lots of food for the BBQ:
We then were up late into the night around a campfire listening to music:

The next morning, many were up by 7 o'clock since the sun had made our tents into little ovens. We went surfing again and just playing in the ocean and on the beach.

In the afternoon, we went to a water park to go down some fun slides. Unfortunately in Japan, summer is officially over by September and so this was the last day the water park was open, even though it will still be hot here for more than another month. I guess since kids are back to school in September they shouldn't have distractions like pools or water parks open, even on the weekends...oh well. Luckily for me, the ocean is open all year round. ^^
