余呉湖

先週、滋賀県は余呉湖に行ってきました。琵琶湖の北にあるちっこい湖で、米子から30分ぐらい。

夏の田舎は緑と空がきれいで好きです。ただ、涼しいのを結構期待してたんやけど普通に暑かった…

遊歩道という名のただの道が湖をぐるっとまわっていて、5キロぐらいなので、運動不足解消にちょうど良かった。道沿いのいたるところに紫陽花が植えてあってきれいです。

きれいな湖なので、魚が結構釣れるらしく、おっさんたちが車で魚釣りに来てた…関西と名古屋ナンバーが多かったな。みんなひとりで来てて、ひとりでのんびり釣ってるねんけど、やっぱりおっさんは疲れてるんやろうな…きれいな湖でぼーっとして疲れた心を癒してるんやろう。

途中でごっつい雷雨にあって、大変でしたが、なんか霧っぽくなってそれはそれて情緒があってすばらしかったです。

I went to YOGO-Lake in Shiga last Saturday. YOGO-Lake is north of Shiga. It's 30 minutes from Yonago St.

I like countries of Japan, cause its greens and skies are beautiful. Actually I had expected Yogo would be cooler than Kyoto city, but it was hot enough.

A narrow road surrounds the lake, and it's about 5km. Walking around the lake was really good exercise for me and my health. These were many pretty hydrangeas besides the road.

YOGO-Lake was very clean and there were many fishes in the lake. So some middle-aged men enjoyed fishing. They came by their cars and these were from Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya...... I saw they were swamped because of busy days in their city, and fishing was their method to refresh themselves.

Actually there was a sudden thunderstorm and I got wet. However, a mist appeared over the lake and it was pretty good.
