First Swim of the Season

We went for our first 'swim' of the season this weekend. The weather has been beautiful and the 'river' just started flowing... So it was high time we got our feet wet! The Rokko Island River Mall is a perfect place for young ones to cool off and gain a little confidence in the water, as it isn't very deep. And for the big ones it's a great place for, say, a bottle of yuzu-flavored sake, a bag of wasabi-covered almonds, and some adult chit-chat. (Maximo is going to love it, Julie! Hope these pictures give you an idea of what to expect.)
