Happy New Year!!!明けましておめでとうございます。

This is the new year card I made up for 2019 the year of Boar

今年の干支　いのしし年のカードを作りました。

I made the limited 50 copies and send all  out to my people

50枚限定コピーを作り親戚、友達に送りました。

There are 2 versions English and Japnese 

英語と日本語の両方を作りました。

This year is the year of the Boar.

My inspiration comes from Norse Mythology and religion.

In 2018, for first time of my life, I visited Europe.

In Denmark, I felt the spirits of Gods and Goddesses when gazing at the sky.

Particularly, the twin God and Goddess,  Freyr and Freyja.

Freyr ‘s residence is the homeland of the Elves, and he travels on a Golden boar.

His sister Freyja rides a chariot drawn by two cats, one black and another grey

--they are represented by my own cats, Mustang and Kuroy.

I hope you will have your bravest year like Freyr on his Golden Boar.

Happy New Year 2019!!!

今年はいのしし（亥）年です。

いのししをテーマに北欧の神の事を思い浮かべました。

去年は生まれて初めてのヨーロッパ旅行をしました。

デンマークでは空を見上げるとたくさんの神様を感じることが出来ました。

双子の兄と妹、Freyr　と　Freyja。

Freyrは普段は“妖精の里”に住み　旅行をする時は黄金に輝くいのししに乗って

行くそうです。

妹のFreyjaは戦車を2匹の黒とグレイの猫にひかせて走るというので　その猫をうちの猫　

マスタングとクロイをモデルにしました。

今年があなたにとって黄金のいのししにまたがるFreyrのように勇敢な年になりますように。

2019年、明けましておめでとうございます。

WildQuest Bimini Bahamas with 5Rhythms Vol.2

On July 18th Wednesday, 3rd day

in the morning we uaualy went to the beach of other side of our inns

Only walked cross the street to get to the beachwhite white sand and emerald green ocean

This is Sandy Wildquest dog which addict to the sand on the beach

 

2 of them were sisters.　Maria had took by neighbours

They healed us a lot

On this day the dolphins swam with our boat to take us to the place for more dolphins...but we should go back earlier because we planned to eat out at the restaurant in the evening on this day

And I fianlly used my whole face covered mask and waterproof GoPro Camera to film the dolphins.....in the first 2 days I tried to use but hardly get used to so gave it up

After those 2 days I had some video taking under the ocean and dolphins

I was not a good swimmer

I was not a good diver

And at the first time filming in the ocean

So I missed to film so many special moments...... 

I edited some of them captured from the video I took

The video I took did not come out that good and needed more time to complete to edit......

The restaurant took 5 minites to ride by taxi

( Any taxi had not paying by meter. I doubted they need any license to be a taxi which they called getting people to ride)

I ate local fish they called Grouper. Japanese called this 'Hata'（=”ハタ”.。。。白身で鯛よりおいしいと言われています。）

And we danced and enjoyed at night

 

On July 19th Thursday, 4th day 

This day earlier on the boat we found some big dolphins swam along with our boat

The crew said that was very unusual to see the dolphins which came from far out from the deep ocean

They were huge dolphins

Give thanks they came to see us

 

Then these were same ones from the first day we sew, the mother and kid's dolphins

There had more dots that meant they'er older...as same as human's grey hair

I had weared Bob Marley;s bikini

On July 20th Sunday, 

Last day for Wildquest

At the last day in the morning usually every morning the rain splashed then as soon as after we danced the clouds went away and the blue sky came out.

But the day was not same

 

Sandy also looked sad

The last day was cloudy and windy and that making ocean rough

We were hardly see where were dolphins

When we were almost giving up that was almost the end of the day finally we sew a lot of dolphins

For sure they came to say us good bye

The dolphins swam with our boat

https://photos.app.goo.gl/HHGmNB787BT9tcdu8

We jumped off into the ocean, having fun

This was my roommate Karen....we became a good friend

The last day I connected to the dolphin who came at the first day with her kid.....She knew our last day as that day

When she came toward me and turned around beside of me I got to remember what Lucia said "Look at the eye" so I looked at her eye and I asked " connect me, connect me" she said "You are sure to come back, right"

and I said "Yes Yes I come back" and she turned around and swam away

I had heart-fullness of the end of the day and started to cry

We didn't wanna leave and still went on the beach before the dinner

Here were JP and Maria....They had warm friendship

She became my good friend too

  

The last dinner we had....the food over there served was every meals exellent

Also I did not forget to bring my own organic soy sauce and roasted solt....Those were very useful for the trip

I had shared with friends and they loved those too

 

That was the cake for happy birthday for Claire....such a warmest heart's gift

We all sung for her Happay Birthday

I purchased a nice wildquest rush gurard

And the nicest USB all our memories inside which took by proffesional camera man "Atomo"

On July 21st Saturday

Said Good Bye to WildQuest and the beach

ありがとうございました。

We were leaving WildQuest by boat in the morning

While we were waiting for the taxi to go to airport "Jules"made the song and sung it ....it was so beutiful and touched

https://photos.app.goo.gl/Ghhu4zQ5eKDDietLA

And we flyed out and said Good By Bimini

Looked up on the sky and surprised to see the dolphins said Good Bye too

We were back to the city and I stayed one night at this hotel "Humpton Inn Hilton"of downtown FLL....I gave them a good review because the hotel was so clean and convienient

I went to eat Japanese food which I deserved at the restaurant near by the hotel......The staff was very friendly and food was deliciousおいしかった。

There was a sushi counter and sushi ceff too

SUAN'S THAI & JAPANESE RESTAURANT

 And the next day I flyed over to Atlanta

～LAX ～HNL～OGG（HOME)

ただいま～～～～

Aloha～～～

I came back from Binimi Bahamas trip which was the first time out over the mainland since I went out for Jamaica of JamRock Reggae Cruise on 2014

This time blog I make up only English and tell you about all this trip now before my memories faded away

On July 14th Saturday

9 pm flight I flyed out from OGG to LAX

That will be a longest flight to get to the FLL(Miami) airport so I made for 2 meals Bento packed

Of course I brought my own Hashi （chop sticks) and while I was eating Musubi I made someone asked me "Where to get 'spam musubi'" Actually that was not Spam musubi.....I made Onigiri inside Okaka(bonito flake) That must look ONO to them but I said her " That 's what I made for myself" She said " I thought so" I was  sorry to see the lady looked so dissapointed

On July 15th Sunday

I arrived Fort Launderdale at Bahia Mar hotel...Waited for the roommate

That was a longest beach "Fort Launderdale beach" I 've never seen.....(we call a Big Beach of Makena which was nothig to campare with this beach)

Still be bright around 7 o'clock...the sun stayed over there longer than Hawaii

We got together with 5Rhythms' members for dinner at restaurant 5:30pm 

On July 16th Monday

We are going ahead to Bimini Bahamas taking a small airplane

After Bimini we took a boat ride to get to the place for wildquest

　

It was so comfortable ride

As soon as settle down we are going out of ocean to see the dolphins

　

The crew on the boat were so kind and well-taking care of people so we felt comfortable for the boat ride

https://www.wildquest.com

Check inside of wildquest and "Meet Crew"

The ocean was so so so beautiful pale emerald green......I felt quite different from the ocean in Hawaii.....Hawaii's ocean was wavy and rough......The caribbean ocean was gentle and warm

There're the water seemed softly wrapped around me

On this day we'd seen some dolphins but they seemed stll checking on us and hesitate to come closer

I wonder why later the one of crew told me the story that the last people who came to Wildquest had a really good time with the dolphins and they left, so the dolphins broke their hearts.....

Such an amazing story for unreal kind but still make sense

On the way back the fishing boat was coming back with a big fish they had caught

On July 17th 2nd day Tuesday

This is my room door。。so cute

Tuesday to Friday 7:30-9:00AM　５Rhythms Retreat with Lucia and Douglassweat sweat sweat

  

Every morning we had a dance by 5Rhythms and going out for the ocean.....the power of 5Rhythms worked

We had seen a lot of dolphins because we danced for them in the morning, I believe

Check the store near by...I made a friend the uncle of the store

And he showed me Bahamas' dollar He said the value was equoal of US$

Is that for sure  Looked like not real money

 

Then we were going out on the boat for the 2nd day

The lady had the bottle that provided by wildquest each one of us....My number was

Of course I don't have any make-ups on the boat...すっぴん

Her name's Olivia, Lucia's doughter, she became 7 months oldShe was sure she is an real angel。。。I could see her wings on her back

I guess that's why ｍany dolphins visited to see us 

Lucia's Baby Girl 

There were 30 to 40 dolphins around us amazingly

We Were swiming with them 

At this day at the first time I connected to one dolphin

I didn't know actually what was CONNECT meant, when I was snorkeling just several dolphins came to wrap around me and one gave me a kind of electric shock when she or he got closest to me....she was almost just under me

After that I felt so tired so went back on the boat and after a little while I felt so sick.....I threw up all I ate at lunch to the ocean.....Debbie was nursing me and she said " See all dolphins swam toward you and worry about you" I had seen many dolphins came closer to the my side of the boat and asking " Are you okay" so I said " I am okay thank you"

On the way coming back to the inn we could have seen some sand bank here and there...unusual beautiful scean out there
