An Afternoon at Lake Biwa

Today's blog entry is about our trip to Lake Biwa two weeks ago. It was a very nice trip to a beautiful lake on a sunny but not too hot day, the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon! I had wanted to go there for some time but never had quite the right opportunity, so I gladly agreed to join some friends for the trip. Lake Biwa is about 2 hours from Osaka, and it's the largest lake in Japan, so it really feels more like being at the sea than being at a lake. There is not a lot to write about because we really didn't do a lot: After finding a good picnic spot on the beach, we enjoyed our lunchboxes which we had bought in Osaka, and spend the rest of the afternoon chatting, sun-bathing, and flipping stones..
