Saturday – Rest Day

Today is officially the first day we chose not to travel during the weekend after acquiring the car.

In a way, today’s rest day was something that we needed yet didn’t ask for. I wanted to travel as the weather was beautiful but upon checking my to-do list I faced the reality that I had so much to do like check the student essays I brought home from work and also type articles for my travel blog.

Speaking of my travel blog, I was surprised to discover that I have over 50 articles lined up to be written. This article is one of them. Aside from that, I also had to do plenty of household chores too. 


Overall, it was a long day for me. I spent it mostly sitting down. Regardless, I managed to check all the essays and write 6 articles. Well, that’s how I spent the day. See you tomorrow.

Sunday – Rest Day x Stroll along Rumoi River

It’s another beautiful day here in Rumoi City. However, like yesterday, we decided not to go on a road trip and just stay in Rumoi City.

That afternoon, we decided to walk along the banks of the Rumoi River to the Shinonomecho area of the city. We then went to the Fashion Center Shimamura Rumoi to buy some winter clothes for Ella.

On our way home, we briefly stopped at 711 in the Minamimachi area to buy snacks like the hotdog on the stick and the oden.

When we got home, we watched the 2022 action comedy thriller Bullet Train for our last full show before calling it a day.

Overall, we were all rested and we were able to do household chores, and in a way, we also missed the road. That’s why we are now looking forward to our next road trip.

  1. If I have a place like the walking area around Rumoi River near my place I'd surely be fit.

    1. My family and I are lucky to have been assigned to our current housing. It's near the river and a convenience store.
