Trip to Aruba(9/30-10/6)

We went to Aruba, one of the island of Caribbean, for a week from 9/30, which was our too late "summer vacation."

One of the reasons we chose Aruba is that it's good for windsurfing beginner, my wife. It's not only windy but also warm and safe. There are a few good windsurfing rental center.
But, as you might know, October is not windy season in Caribbean. But it's better for my wife.

Of course, I have another options in Caribbean or others. But, Aruba is not too big compared with other famous places, not too urbanized. It's also the one of the safe place in Caribbean.

I can write the same short diary every day as follows:

When we waked up in the morning, I went to eat breakfast outdoor cafeteria on the beach, or inside restaurant.

About windsurfing, it was completely perfect.
After windsurfing, nothing is better than drinking tons of cold beers on the beach seeing a nice sunset(see pictures below).
After dark, we sometimes continued to drink beers while feeling nice breeze for a while.
Then, after 8pm , we went to very nice restaurant,but not too expensive. Likely because Aruba is a part of Holland, food was not too American if you would like to select.

When we feel a little bit muscle pain, we enjoyed going to natural places such as the desert area and the natural pool and bridge that was shaped by strong current, waves, and wind.

Every day was such like the above.
Totally, it was stable and really exciting vacation.

ROUTE OF THE EVIL TOUR AT THE TWEETER CENTER IN MA

Long time no blog!!

I'm sorry not to update my blog due to my very busy and exciting schedule for a few weeks!!
I quickly put two topics we got for a few weeks. The first one is about a live of my most favorite rock band, AEROSMITH on the 26th of September in Tweeter Center Boston.
Before AEROSMITH, MOTLEY CLUE, I used to listen to, peformed as a opening performance as same as Lenny Kravitz did on the last live of AEROSMITH.

As you might know, AEROSMITH gave up to continue their performance during the tour that had began from the last autumn due to the problem with Steven's throat. Fortunately, we were happy to attend it before the decision:
The report about the last live(only in Japanese)

So, we can get a chance to go to their live once a year here in Boston in addition to the historical event on the 4th of July in 2006 with Boston Pops:
The report about July 4th event


We had three big topics this time.

Firstly, Tom Hamilton came back to the stage from this event because this was conducted in their hometown. He could not perform the live from the beginning of the tour due to his throat cancer although the official announced that he attend it after recovering it, which was thought to be from October. But he performed only one song, "Sweet emotion", before that at this concert.

Secondly, Joe played "Dirty Water", which is a song of Boston. That was very cool and very matched with Joe's style.

Finally, we were very happy to enjoy the most favorite song,. "EAT THE RICH." My wife and I was considering which one is the first song of this concert. Unfortunately, our guess was incorrect. But they actually played it in the middle of concert. The last time when I listened to this wonderful song in live is on the "Get a grip tour" in 1993. It was really exciting!!

In conclusion, that was completely perfect!!

- Opening song



- Eat the rich



- Duty Water with Joe Perry



- Tom Hamilton playing "Sweet emotion" came back!!
