It was a hot summer day today.

It was a hot day today. In some cities in northern Hokkaido, the highest temperature was over 30 degrees. Here in Tomakomai, it was around 25 degrees. On the other hand, in many places in Honshu and Kyushu, it has been raining heavily, and rivers are flooding, and in Tohoku district, the rainy season has begun, the Meteorological office officially announced.
In the afternoon, Ayako and I, inviting Mrs.Azumi to join us, went playing park golf. As the sun was very strong, we went to the golf course in Arten camp site, where there were a lot of trees. We enjoyed playing two rounds of each 18 holes. On the way home, we dropped round at Furusato Noen to show Mrs.Azumi our field.

My personal history  ⑧　
I didn't remember what Hakodate looked like, because I could get on the train almost straight from the pier. Anyway, I felt relieved to set foot for the first time in my life on the land of Hokkaido. The train would take me straight to Iwamizawa, where my family was waiting for me. I wondered what the city of Iwamizawa would look like,what kind of house my family lived, and what kind of job my father had found. I was not sure that I would really be able to go to senior high school, because if my father could not find a good job, there would be an economical problem. In the train, people around me talked to me very kindly because I looked very young to take a long trip by myself. The mountains seen through the window still looked very white with snow. "This is Hokkaido", I thought.
