First, take a look at the photos below. Though it's the first time for me to visit here, I felt it was the second time. I think it looks like the scenery of Cappadocia in Turkey which I saw in a picture somewhere. The name of this place is "Hotokegaura", which faces Tsugaru Strait and lies about halfway between Oomazaki and Mutsu City. Hotokegaura is one of the main sightseeing points of Shimokita Peninsula. If I had had enough time, I would have taken the sightseeing boat, but I couldn't. It took about half an hour to go down there from the National Highway on foot. I perspired a great deal when returning to my bike after 30 minutes' climbing.
I started promptly for Mutsu City to cool my body. The wind against me on the bike was very comfortable. Finally, I got to Mutsu City. I have a longtime friend here. I'll write about him tomorrow.

Hi,Michito. Are you driving around the Shimokita Peninsula right now? You should go to Ohma town and have delicious sashimi of tuna. Have you visited Osoresan yet? Enjoy your trip for the rest of your holidays. Take care!
