The Week #244
by James- ποΈ We had true spring weather over the weekend: clear blue skies and nearing 20 degrees. It's back to winter now. But we took full advantage of the weather and went to Enoshima, starting from the Monorail station.
Looking over the harbor
There were a lot of people, but manageable.Β I was surprised by the number of foreign tourists there these days. Pre-covid, I'd only see a few here or there, but now they're everywhere. Which is good for the economy and explains how the offerings are changing. Slowly the old seafood houses are getting replaced with pizza and hip cafes. On one hand, the showa vibes are rapid disappearing makes me miss an era I never experienced in Japan, but it's for the best to remain relevant.Walking down the main drag
On the island we found (definitely not showa!) a robot cotton candy machine where you can select amongst 6 different shapes with varying colors in a single candy. It was great and it memorized all the kids walking past.
On the way back to get a coffee and head home we stopped by the beach for 20 minutes, letting Leo throw rocks into the ocean. Surprisingly he listened to us and did not wet, which is good as we did not have a change of clothes with us. - πΆββοΈWhen we got home from Enoshima, I realized this trip marked a huge milestone for Leo. He walked the entire 3~km there and back without me carrying him or putting him on my shoulders once. He didn't even mention it. It used to be we'd barely walk 100m and he'd want up on my shoulders. Or any crowd at all and up he'd climb. I was mentally prepared for it at some point going back, but nope. π I'm proud, but also a little sad because I know the last shoulder ride is closer than I realized.
- π₯ I watched this video about this couple's low tech eco living apartment in Paris. It's incredible how they've made the entire place an ecosystem, from growing 120 different kinds of plants inside, harvesting mushrooms, to growing their own protein (π¦). It's all a bit too much for me, but I love their dedication. The way we make humans live in a more sustainable manner isn't through growing mushrooms in your shower, but though making sustainable choices cheaper and better. Solar, wind, batteries, EVs are a good first step because EVs and heatpumps are, even if you ignore how they're powered, a better experience than petrol cars and gas-based heaters. The future is solarpunk.
