泳 : Spring is coming, let's go swimming!


I love this period between winter and spring, where you are not totally confident that winter is behind and that spring has taken over...

You can feel it coming through many little signs: the wind getting warmer, the flowers blooming on every corner, the increasing number of people staying outside, the sun shining... 

This time, we felt that it was real: Spring is here, let's go swimming!
We took our bikes and headed to Kakinohama Beach to enjoy our first swim of the year!
The water was fresh but it felt so relaxing to swim, to let the freshness embrace our bodies and to be in the middle of this beautiful blue water.

泳 : the Kanji for swimming is made on the left of "water", with the splash of three little drops, and on the right of the kanji for "eternity", I find it so poetic, and indeed, this first swim in Ojika will be engrained for eternity in my memory.
