数日前に、友人Yから突然ラインがきた。
急に静岡への帰省がきまり週末帰るんだけど空いてる？
とのこと
28歳の息子ちゃんと一緒に帰ってくるY
積もる話もあるが、急過ぎで土曜日は終日レッスンが。。
日曜日は午後から用事があった・・
ならば午前中に会おう！
って思いついたのが日の出前から集合
で、静岡散策ツアー
生まれ育った静岡市散策ツアーです
先ずは5時前にYと息子のSちゃんをお迎えに
（私の姉もついてきた）
そして、歩いて15分の城北公園へ
朝一番の日の光をみるのはいつも素敵
特に、大切な人達と見れれば最高ね
日の出後その近所の臨済寺へ
徳川家康公が幼少期を過ごした所として全国的に有名なお寺
子どもの時から何百回とみてきたはずの臨済寺だが
朝日の中に包まれている所を見たのは初めて
いつもと違う！
堂々と厳かで
何とも言えない美しさがあった
臨済寺のハスもキレイだった
そして、
わが友Yは偉かった
事前調査バッチリ！
由比に（東海道の宿場町の1つ）
魚の朝市があるみたい♪
そこで朝ごはんを食べよう♪
一同大賛成
車内で
相当盛り上がり
由比での美味しい朝ごはんに
妄想が止まりません
そして。。由比到着
あれ？ あれれ？
静かな漁村だ。。
なにもない。。
慌ててスマホを取り出すY
あー由比ガ浜だった
ってことで
お腹が劇ヘリになった息子Sちゃんは
機嫌が悪くなるわぁな（人前だから隠していたが）
で、言う。。
もう静岡名物とかいいよ
マクドナルドでいい
マックがいい！
残念なことに
由比にマックはモダン過ぎる！
OMG
でも！大丈夫です！私たち静岡人ですから
って清水に向かう
あった！あった！
朝からやってる食堂が！
うひゃ～
って笑顔が戻ってくる
帰りに海を覗いてみると
魚がいっぱいいたのに驚きだった。
こんなに長く静岡に住んでいるのに
静岡のことを何にも知らなかったなぁ
早起きは３文の得って言うけれど、
私が手にいれたのは
静岡豆知識
朝は素敵だ
楽しい思い出をありがとうねY
A couple days ago, I got a line message from an old friend of mine, Yuko. She said she would come to Shizuoka over the weekend with her twenty-eight-year-old son. It was very short notice, and I had a plan in the afternoon. She never visits Shizuka without meeting me. So, we had decided to meet in the morning.
Morning time will never be short if you wake up before the sun rises. I picked them up before five o’clock and went to Johoku Park. which is fifteen minutes' walking distance from her mother’s house and my place. She woke her son up to join the tour and my sister was with us. Seeing light first appearing in the sky was very nice, especially with my dear friends and sister. We went to a famous temple, Rinsai-ji near the park, where Tokugawa Ieyasu used to study when he was a boy. Since I was born here, I have seen the temple hundreds of times, but it was the first time to see it in the morning sun. It was not the temple I knew, more solemn and mysterious.
After that, Yuko said there was a nice morning market in Yui, so we went there expecting a gorgeous breakfast. The sea was shining, and we were happy to talk about what we would eat. When we arrived in Yui it turned out there was nothing but a small quiet port there. What she saw on her smartphone was not Yui, but Yuigahama in Kanagawa! Oh dear.. Would our gorgeous breakfast never appear?? Her son, Sei-chan, was getting very hungry and a bit angry! He said “I don’t care about eating something from Shizuoka. I’m just hungry! Macdonald will be fine!” Unfortunately, Yui is a small fishing village with no Macdonald! Macdonald must be too modern for Yui! But we didn’t need to worry! We are living in Shizuoka! There is another option. We went to Shimizu and found a nice restaurant. A smile came back to our face. I saw some fish swimming in the sea. I didn’t know that fish are so close to the shore.
An early bird catches the worm. I discovered some secrets of Shizuoka this morning. Lucky me!
