This Saturday we went with my friend from work to Kisarazu on the coast of Chiba Prefecture to go hunting for little clams. Here in Japan they are called Asari and Hamaguri. This activity is really popular here, especially with little kids. It is basically a good excuse to play in the mud for half the day.Anna enjoyed building mud castles with her friend Koki and all of the adults loved getting our hands on these tasty little creatures. Ove the course of the day I made the erroneous decision to not wear sunscreen. I am paying for this today. I have a great shade of red right now on my neck arms and legs. Also, since I was wearing Crocs in the big mud puddle, I have red sunburn dots on my feet too.
Afterwards we took our bounty back onto the boat and washed them up. We then put them in sea water. It was really cool when we brought them back home. When you looked into the bunch of them they really do move around and like squirting water at each other. Very cool.
