A Day at the Beach

For the first time, we stand at the Pacific Ocean and the sky and the sea shine in a deep and wide blue. The wind is blowing in our ears and of course, it is too cold to swim. But that doesn't stop the children from playing in the water. Namira enthusiastically bakes cakes and lets herself be chased by the waves.

And then there were also owls. Yes, why not? It's completely normal to take your owl for a walk on such a wonderful day. Robin got to stroke them too. They're really nice. And they don't bite.

In the evening, Robin remembers a Japanese children's song that he learned from his classmate Daisuke:

The sea is wide and vast
The sea is wide and vast

The moon rises, the sun sets
From where the moon rises to where the sun sets

The ocean waves, blue waves
The waves of the sea are big and blue

They sway, I wonder how far they go
and I wonder where they came from and where they are going

I want to float a boat on the sea
I want to ride on a boat

I want to go to another country
and travel to other countries
