Not far from Camp Zama is the Sagamigawa river. During the spring, this is a very wide river due to the snow melt in the mountains. In the winter, it is a small, slow moving river. Last weekend we decided to check it out and have a picnic. There were picnic tables on higher land but we decided to eat amongst the rocks. The rocks were really cool and Madeleine picked up a few for her collection. (She's just like her Nana in that regard.) We had a nice lunch that we picked up at the convenience store along the way. We love the food at the convenience stores. They are very different than the frozen burritos and withering hot dogs you find back in Texas. We had freshly fried chicken, salad, inari sushi, pasta salad with crab, kiwi yogurt, chocolate pudding, and more. It was a beautiful day so we walked along the water's edge after our picnic. We saw several fisherman and one of them slowly pulled in a large, golden colored fish. It might have been a carp. He very slowly reeled it in all the way onto the rocks. He removed the hook, gave it a kiss and let it back in the water. I'm just kidding about the kiss. We are looking forward to going back in the summer because there is a big kite festival held there. Thanks for reading our blog!
