Chris and I spent Saturday in Kamakura--a 30 minute train ride from where we live. We took some time to go see the local gardens and temples.

After walking a bit we arrived at the beach.

Chris gets comfortable
After laying our blanket out, relaxing and soaking in the view of the ocean, we are approached by a young Japanese man with a camera asking in Japanese if he could take pictures of us. We said sure...or "Hai" and he snapped away several pictures of us at different angles. We kept smiling...a couple times looking at each other like, "What do we do, pose or act natural?" Hopefully he got the shot he wanted.
