I went driving to the beach with my friends.
Actually, we supposed to go to the mountain at first. I should have arrived at my friend`s home to pick him up until 10, but I got up at 11. Another friend also slept late, so we changed the plan.

On the way to the beach,we were caught in a big downpour. When I listen the news of the missing at the sea during Typhoon, I often point out "Why did they go to the sea on such a terrible rainy day?" I just tried to act the same thing to them.

As we expected, there was no people at the beach at all.
It blows and rained, we felt cold.
We squirted each other and soaked knee-deep in the sea.
I guess the missing people at the sea did it so, too.
We tried to avoid to get wet, but we got soaked to the skin after all.
One my friends had a touch of cold, but she didn`t care about it.

There was a beach house behind the wildbreak, we decided to have a lunch there.
That restauurant was famous for clam barbecue. One kilo of the natural clam was ¥3300. It was a little expensive for us,but we couldn`t endure to keep still just in front of sweet clams.
It was fantastic! We enjoyed huge,fleshy and tasty clams.

Our plan was ruined, but we had a good time because of our overslept.
