Past midnight we departed from Ishihara-san’s home. We were 6 people riding in two cars, one Toyota Regius Ace packed with things and 4 people, as well as Chie’s Audi A4 packed with things and Chie and me. We drove the whole night to arrive in Ishinomaki around 5 am to a beautiful sunrise. It was going to be a beautiful day.

In Ishinomaki we stopped at a temporary home complex where a family with their roots in Kobuchihama were living. The wife of the family is the sister of the guy that is coordinating the rebuilding of the fishing community in Kobuchihama. They had prepared a BIG and very tasteful breakfast.

The purpose of stopping here were not to have breakfast though. It was to deliver a bicycle among other things 🙂
