Hello everyone,

You have finished your tests, good job! Also, the weather is much cooler than before, which makes going outside so nice. It is the perfect time for a holiday, and fortunately we have one on Monday! Last year Sports Day was in the summer because of the Olympics, but this year it is back where it belongs. I usually take my bicycle and go on a trip. Sometimes I go to Shimanamikaido, and sometimes I ride around the bottom of Wakayama towards Shingu. Here are two of my favorite pictures:

The first one is a famous ocean spot in Wakayama. The second is one of the many bridges that link Hiroshima and Ehime.

Whatever you decide to do, I hope you can enjoy sports day this year and get ready for the sports festival at school! Now we just need the rain to go away…
